INSTRUCTIONS
Sautee onion in a little oil until clear. Add garlic, and sautee until
fragrant. Add rice, and sautee until a nutty smells develops (2-3 minutes).
Pour in V-8 juice, tomatoes, and water. Add cumin, coriander, white pepper,
salt, and chicken base or boullion. Bring to a boil.
At this time I usually cover the pot, and throw it in the oven for about
twenty-five minutes. This almost gaurantees that you won't scorch or burn
it; however, you can cook it own the stove top. Just turn the flame or
element to a low temperature, and watch the rice closely.
When water is gone and rice is firm not mushy, remove from heat source. Add
butter to top. After butter has melted, gently fold rice to evenly
distribute the butter.
Adjust the salt content to your liking.
NOTES : Chicken base is a paste that is a concentrated form of chicken
stock. Chicken base can be found at Sam's Club and a few larger chains of
grocery stores on the soup aisle.
