This recipe was originally designed for 4 people. Amended serving sizes for 1, 2, 6, and 8 people are intended to serve as general guidance only. Cooking times may need to be adjusted to suit your amended serving size.

  • 4 cup uncooked Hinode White Enriched Extra Long Grain, Jasmine, or Basmati rice

  • 2 Small Onion (chopped, white or yellow)

  • 2 tbsp garlic (diced)

  • cup Chicken Broth (fat free)

  • 2 oz can Diced Tomatoes

  • 2 tsp Oregano

  • 4 Bay Leaves

  • ½ tsp Black Pepper

  • 2 tbsp Chili Sauce or Hot Sauce (as desired)

  • 1 cup Salsa Verde (or other salsa)

  • 2 pinch Saffron (if desired)

Long Grain

White long grain rice is your go to grain for a versatile dish. It has long, slender grains, that when cooked, remain separate. This results in a light and fluffy rice that absorbs the flavours of your cooking. It is the perfect partner to a stir-fry, casserole or a stew.
