Spanish Rice in a Rice Cooker

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups (2 rice cooker cups) brown rice
3 cups (or up to the water line) water
14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies (including juice)
1 - 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 - 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
3 - 4 teaspoons chicken style broth/seasoning, instant
2 tablespoons onion, minced (dried)
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
Salt to taste

Instructions

Add rice and water to the rice cooker.
Stir in the rest of the ingredients.
Cook according to your rice cookers instructions for brown rice.
Fluff and serve.

Notes

I usually use long grain brown rice for this recipe.

I often use a popular brand of diced tomatoes with zesty mild green chilies but you can use any similar variation of these tomatoes.

I use a vegetarian instant chicken broth/seasoning that has no MSG or preservatives. It has a great flavor.

You can use regular liquid chicken broth in place of the chicken seasoning and water.

Just pour the chicken broth up to the appropriate water line in the rice cooker.
