Directions
1. Prepare the Rice
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
2. Sauté the Vegetables
In a large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
3. Cook the Rice
Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and stir to coat with the oil and vegetables. Cook for about 2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
4. Add Liquid and Spices
Stir in the diced tomato, vegetable broth, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Bring to a boil.
5. Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
6. Mix in Peas and Carrots
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the frozen peas and carrots to the rice.
