Spanish Rice (Rice Cooker)

Yields: 4 serving(s) Prep Time: 10 mins Total Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• ½ medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 Tbsp mixed garlic
• 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 ¼ tsp Sazón seasoning
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• ¾ tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus more
• ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
• Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving

Directions

• Use a medium saucepan over medium heat to sweat the onions until soft and translucent. This should take about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for about 2 minutes while stirring frequently until softened and fragrant.
• Rince the rice, add to a rice cooker
• Add broth and seasonings to the rice cooker, stir until well-mixed
• Start the rice cooker with the white rice setting
• Once cooked, fluff with a fork or spoon
• Rest for 5–10 minutes before serving

Notes

• Allow your rice to rest. The rice should be allowed to rest and gently steam for 5 to 10 minutes after it’s cooked. Simply cover the pot with a clean kitchen towel, and let it sit before fluffing it with a fork and adding the cilantro.
