Heat oil in a 3-quart saute pan over medium heat. Add rice and stir to combine. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes, until rice begins to turn a golden color.

Pour in water and tomato sauce and stir to combine.

Turn off the heat and let the rice rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes.

Notatki

It Is best to keep as close to a 2:1 ratio of liquids to rice to prevent rice from becoming mushy.

For best results use basmati or other low starch long grain rice.

You can also add 1/2 and onion diced or other veggies as you’d like. Sauté them after the rice has toasted.

For large crowds, it is best baked. Preheat oven to 350. In a large oven safe pan, transfer toasted rice and veggies and bring liquids to a boil prior to adding to oven safe pan with rice. Cover with lid and bake for 30-45 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
