Delicious Spanish Rice

So Sorry I forgot to post this when I did the enchiladas.  We LOVE this Spanish Rice that we call Cindy's Rice because my awesome friend Cindy gave it to me.  I watched her cute mom make it when we lived in Arizona and she is an awesome cook!

Cindy’s Rice

2 cups uncooked rice

2 TB oil

1 cup tomato sauce

4 cups water

1-2 garlic cloves, pressed

4 tsp chicken bouillon granules.  (If using cubes, I unwrap them and put them in a baggie and smash them with a mallet or you can put them in the microwave with part of the water to dissolve them)

Optional: A bit of Fresh or dried cilantro 

Heat the oil for 5 minutes on medium high heat and then add rice.  Fry, stirring almost constantly until it is browned a little. Pour in everything else and turn down heat to let it simmer covered for 20 minutes.

I took step by step pictures and can't find the now but here is what the finished product looks like.  Enjoy!
