February Preparedness Challenge:
"Our Heavenly Father created this beautiful earth, with all its abundance, for our benefit and use. His purpose is to provide for our needs as we walk in faith and obedience. He has lovingly commanded us to ‘prepare every needful thing’ (see D&C 109:8) so that, should adversity come, we may care for ourselves and our neighbors..." (See All Is Safely Gathered In)

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup white rice
Approximately 1 cup chicken broth or stock
Approximately 1 cup tomato sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1. In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, melt together olive oil and butter. Add rice and stir to coat with oil/butter. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 to 3 minutes, until rice is toasted.
2. Stir in chicken broth, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic salt, and oregano. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Stir well, reduce heat to low, place lid on pot, and cook at a gentle simmer for 20 minutes. If rice is not quite tender or liquid is not absorbed after 20 minutes, replace lid and cook for 2 to 4 minutes longer. Remove from heat, leave covered, and allow to rest for a few minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and serve.
Serving suggestions:
1. Serve as a side dish
2. Serve inside a burrito with hamburger and refried beans
and cheese, topped with sour cream and or salsa.
3. Serve in a burrito bowl with black beans, lettuce, cheese,
tomatoes, corn, and ground beef or chicken over rice.
(So good, and top it off with ranch dressing, salsa ranch,
or even, creamy tomatillo ranch. (Cafe Rio style!)
