• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

2 Tbsp vegetable oil

1 medium yellow onion (diced)

1 1/2 cups dry long grain white rice

2 1/4 cups reduced sodium chicken broth

1 cup salsa (use your favorite)

Directions

Cook onion

Heat oil in a saucepan over MED heat. Add onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Toast rice

Add rice to pan, and cook, stirring often to prevent burning, for a few minutes.

When rice is lightly golden, add broth and salsa.

Simmer

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to LOW, cover, and cook 20-25 minutes until all liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.

** note that all stovetops cook differently, so keep an eye on your rice towards the end of cooking to make sure it's not sticking to the pan, or finished cooking early! **

Serve

Fluff with a fork and serve hot.
