1 huge lg. onion
4 tbsp. olive oil
2 cloves garlic
2 c. long grain rice (1/2 box UNCLE BEN'S® 32 oz.)
28 oz. can peeled tomatoes, drain
3 cans (Campbell's size) beef consomme
2 1/2 tsp. cumin
Dash basil

In skillet over medium heat cook onion in oil; do not brown, 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and rice, cook stirring another 3-5 minutes until rice is a pale yellow.

Transfer to Dutch oven with remaining ingredients and bring to boil and simmer over very low heat about 20 minutes. If covered this may take longer to make rice drier so remove cover at end of 20 minutes.
