Instructions

Step 1

First things first, add your tablespoon of oil in a pan/skillet (I use a cast iron skillet). Heat up your pan for a minute on medium/high heat. While it’s heating combine all your spices together in a small bowl and set aside. Add in your rice and continuously stir to brown your rice. (It is key to not stop stirring so the rice browns evenly!)

Step 2

Add your spices over top, mix it well until each grain of rice is coated thoroughly. Then, add your tomato sauce. It will steam and simmer once you pour, do not stop mixing!
