Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 2 tablespoons yellow onion chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups long grain white rice uncooked
  • 2 cups vegan chicken-style broth
  • 1 cup chunky tomato-based salsa or pico de gallo

Instructions

  • Set a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. When the butter is melted, add onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened.
  • Stir uncooked rice into the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, until the rice is lightly golden brown.
  • Add the vegan chicken broth and salsa, stirring to incorporate the salsa.
  • Bring just to a boil, then reduce to low heat. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is cooked and liquid has been absorbed.
  • Remove from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes to firm up.
  • Fluff rice with a fork and serve hot.
