Categories     Side Dish

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tomatoes (, stemmed and quartered)
1/2 yellow onion (, peeled and quartered)
2 cloves garlic (, peeled)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
1 1/2 cups chicken broth

Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes or until the liquid is totally absorbed. Fluff with a fork to stir in the tomato bits that have risen to the top. Serve warm.
