🥗Healthier: brown rice

💰Cheaper: white rice

Brown rice adds fiber and nutrients.

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, about three washes.

Use a strainer to drain the rice and save the water for plants.

Heat a pot over medium heat before adding oil.

Once the oil is hot, add the rice and spread it out.

Fry the rice until it starts to brown, being careful not to burn it.

In a blender, combine two tomatoes, 1/4 onion, and 1 clove garlic with a little water to make a puree.

Check the rice; it should be starting to brown.

Once the rice is golden, add the tomato puree to the pot.

Add 2 cups of hot chicken broth, stirring to combine.

Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low.

Let it cook until all the liquid evaporates and the rice is tender.
