ingredients
1 medium onion
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon bacon drippings
1 can (8 1/4 ounce size) stewed tomatoes
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon cumin
1 cup instant rice
directions
Cut onion in half. Finely chop 1 half. Cut the other half in very thin slices. Mash garlic with salt to make a paste. Heat bacon drippings in a medium saucepan. Add chopped onion and garlic paste.
Cook and stir until onion is tender. Add stewed tomatoes, chicken broth, chili powder and cumin. Mash tomatoes with a masher or the back of a spoon. Bring mixture to a boil. Sit in rice and sliced onion.
Cover and let stand over very low heat 15-20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Use an asbestos heat diffuser if necessary to maintain very low heat.

This was a good recipe but our family likes a bit more spice. Next time I'll try it with diced tomatoes w/ green chilis. Maybe that will jazz it up a bit.
