Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced (See note 1)
- 1-28oz can crushed tomatoes
- 3 cups of water
- ½ cup basmati rice (See note 2)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot. Add the onion and sauté for 7-8 minutes, until translucent
- Reduce the heat to low, add the crushed tomatoes, water and salt. Turn heat to medium-high and bring to a boil
- Add the rice and stir well. Reduce the heat to low again, cover and let simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until the rice starts to soften (increase the time to 30-35 minutes if using brown rice or until the brown rice is tender).
- Take the pot off the heat and keep it covered for another 10 minutes or until the rice has cooked completely
Notes
- If you don't have an onion, use garlic instead, just make sure you only saute it for 2-3 minutes.
- Any kind of rice will work. If using brown rice, make sure to add more water and increase the cooking time until brown rice is tender.
