Spanish Rice "Arroz"

This is my take on my Grandmothers "Arroz" aka Spanish Rice.

1 cup long rice (1 part rice/2 parts water)

8 oz tomato sauce

2 cup water

olive oil

pepper & garlic (a pinch or to taste)

My Secret ingredient

1/4 of a Yellow Onion (optional)

Mixed Veggies Canned 1 (optional)
On high, heat EVOO in a large non-stick pan. Pour 1-cup of rice into oil & lightly brown stirring constantly. Once the rice has absorbed most of the oil, add tomato sauce/stir, add water/stir, add seasonings/stir, then cover. Lower to medium heat.

• Continue to stir occasionally to avoid sticking &/or burning.
  Once the rice has absorbed all the liquid, roughly around 5-8 min's, taste to make sure the rice is soft, then its time to eat =)~
