Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp vegan butter
  • 1 cup long-grain rice I used Basmati rice
  • 2 cloves garlic diced
  • 2 cups broth*
  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • salt if needed

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Add rice and garlic and lower heat to medium. Cook until rice smells toasted (approx 2-3 minutes), stirring frequently so it doesn't burn.
  • Add the broth, tomato sauce and cumin to the pan. Bring to a boil. Cover and lower heat.
  • Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until all of the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the rice with a fork. Taste and add salt if needed.

Notes

*I used vegan chicken broth, which you can get online here. You can also use your favorite broth instead. The type of broth you use will determine if you need to add salt at the end.
