  • Using a 4-quart covered sauce pan, add butter and half of the oil. Heat over medium high heat. Once butter and oil are hot, add uncooked rice and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring only a couple of times, until it starts to turn golden brown. It will smell almost like popcorn. Transfer browned rice to a bowl and set aside.
  • Add remaining oil to the pan. Still cooking over medium high heat, add chopped onion and allow to slightly brown, cooking about 5 minutes and stirring only to prevent burning. Add garlic, stir, and cook for another minute. Add spices, stir to coat, and allow to toast in the hot pan for a couple minutes. Finally, add the tomato paste, stir, and allow to cook for a minute or so.
  • Add the chicken broth, entire can of tomatoes, the green chile, and the rice to the pot. Stir to combine. Increase heat so that it starts to come to a boil and then reduce heat as low as you can to still maintain a very gentle boil (simmer). Cover with a lid but allow a small space for steam to escape. Stir only occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for about 30 minutes, or until rice is tender and all of the liquid has been absorbed.
