Easy Spanish Rice

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
• 3 cups water
• 2 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, or more to taste
• 1 tablespoon tomato bouillon with chicken flavoring (such as Knorr), or more to taste

Directions

Place a pot over medium-heat heat; add oil and heat until oil shimmers slightly. Pour rice into the hot oil, stirring constantly, until rice is golden to dark brown, about 5 minutes.

Mix water, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and bouillon into rice. Bring to a boil. Turn off heat and cover pot tightly with a lid. Leave pot covered on hot burner until rice has absorbed all the liquid, about 20 minutes. Adjust seasonings as needed.
