long grain rice
vegetable oil
bouillon cube (chicken)
whole clove garlic, fresh minced
fresh tomatoes
fresh onion
cilantro
garlic powder
tomato sauce
cumin

First fry your rice in oil along with chicken bouillon cube and fresh garlic. Keep a close eye on it or it will burn! When the rice gets golden brown, add fresh tomato and fresh onion. Let cook for about 1 minute then add cilantro, garlic powder, tomato sauce and cumin. Right after add water (just enough to cover rice about 1/4 over). By this time you should smell all the nice aromas the spices give out. Cover and let cook until all water is gone and rice is cooked.

Like I said all this is done by eye and tastes just like when I was a kid and would see my mom and grandma cook. Try this recipe and I promise you'll love it!
