Mexican Rice

This is adapted from The Food Nanny Rescues Dinner. You can make it a one-dish meal if you add small chunks of chicken, the way my daughter likes it.  2 tbsp. olive oil 1/4 cup chopped onion 2 to 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 1/2 cups uncooked long grain brown rice 1 vine-ripened tomato, diced 3 cups chicken broth [I use 3 cups water + bouillon] Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook and stir until the onion is soft; be careful to avoid burning. Add the rice and stir until the rice browns a bit. Stir in the tomato, broth, and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and decrease the heat to very low. Simmer for the length of time it says on the rice package and serve immediately.
