This rice does take a while to cook, but it is super easy and so worth the wait. It always pleases a crowd, and even the pickiest eaters love it.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Whole Grain Brown Rice
  • 6 whole Roma Tomatoes
  • 2 whole Medium Onions
  • ⅓ cups Vegetable Oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 35o degrees.

Rinse rice under cold water.

Core and quarter the tomatoes.

Peel and quarter the onions.

Puree the onions and tomatoes in a food processor; set aside.

Add oil to a heavy-bottomed, oven safe pan (preferably a Dutch oven) and heat.

Add rice to the pot and stir continuously for about 10 minutes until it starts to smell nutty and delicious.

Add the pressed garlic and chopped jalapenos to the rice and stir for about 10-15 seconds.

Add stock, tomato paste, and ONLY 4 CUPS of the tomato/onion puree (discard the remainder).
