Steps:
- Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the oil. Once hot, add the rice and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the rice is lightly golden brown all over (about 10 minutes).
- Add tomato sauce, garlic, and diced onion to the pan. Stir. Add tomato bullion, salt, carrots, peas, and water (and serrano peppers, if using. They add a little flavor, but not spice.).
- Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low and cook for about 20 minutes or until the water is completely absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Steps:
- If using long grain rice, put in a wire mesh strainer and rinse off for 3 minutes under cold water and let drain completely. If using instant rice, just put it in the pot then add rest of ingredients and follow basic directions on box but let it sit for an additional 5 minutes over time directions state.
- If using long grain rice, put water and salsa and cumin in saucepan. Add drained long grain rice and stir. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium to medium low. Cover and don't peek for 25 minutes. Check rice and see if it is tender. If not, recover and let sit for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- My salsa is mild. If you like your rice spicier, add some cayenne or use a hotter style of salsa.
- I have also made this with brown instand rice and it is also very good!

- In a large deep skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the rice and combine with the onion and garlic. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring, until it smells a bit nutty and aromatic. This process is called “toasting the rice,” and adds lots of aromatic flavors. Tip: Stir the rice as it toasts so it doesn’t burn at the bottom.
- Add the fresh diced tomatoes, tomato paste, cumin, oregano, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to combine. Season with more salt and pepper, if needed and to taste.
- Add the broth and bring to a boil. Then, reduce to a simmer over low heat, and cover with the lid tightly. Cook for 20-23 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid water. Tip: try not uncover the pot until the cook time is up, otherwise the steam will escape, resulting in undercooked rice.
