Directions: |
Directions:In a pot or fry pan. Pour vegetable oil to cover the bottom of pot/pan. When hot on a medium flame, pour long grain rice. Depending on how many cups you want. (usually about 3 cups)Cook the rice in the oil till some grains are lightly brown. Then add salt, pepper and garlic. Stirring occasionally. Then pour chicken broth or boullion along with the V-8 juice (2 cups) or one small can tomatoe sauce. It will sizzle when you add the liquids. Then add water. Enough to cover rice and more. Once water boils, adjust flame to simmer and cover. Let the rice cook. Keep an eye on it when the liquid starts to disappear. Remove cover. If the rice looks like it is not done cooking. Add 1 cup of water.
I like using V-8 juice, but the original recipe calls for tomatoe sauce. If you don't have either, one time I used ketchup and added more water. My husband loved it. |
