Quick and Easy Spanish Rice

This is a great side dish to go with beef or pork, or as a quick snack.

Ingredients:

1 (15 ounce) can stewed tomatoes

1 1/2 cups chicken stock

1 1/4 cups rice

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

2 teaspoons chili powder

3/4 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

1 teaspoon cumin

Preparation:

In medium saucepan, combine all ingredients (mash tomatoes with potato masher or give them a quick spin in food processor if desired). Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low.

Cover and simmer 25 minutes or until rice is done. (Unless you like sticky, gooey rice, don't take off the lid and stir at all until it is done). Garnish with green onions and/or cheddar cheese. Serves 8.
