1 garlic clove, minced

Diretions:

In a large skillet, cook onion and garlic in canola oil, medium/high heat. Add dry rice. Cook onion rice mixture, stirring frequently, about 4 minutes, or until onions are softened. Add tomatoes and salt. Cook until skins of tomatoes start to peel back from flesh of tomatoes. Add broth. Bring to a boil. Cover.
