Tomato Rice Pilaf

You can make this with brown rice instead of white if you like. Just follow the package directions for cooking time. One can of tomatoes will equal about 1 cup of liquid.

Serves 4

1 tablespoon margarine or olive oil
1 cup rice
1 15 oz can of fire roasted tomatoes
1 large shallot or 1/2 a small onion diced
2 cloves of garlic minced
1/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup water
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Heat the oil or margarine in a saucepan. Add the garlic and shallot. Cook over medium/high heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat with the oil or margarine. Add the wine, tomaotes and water. Season with salt, pepper and paprika. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook, covered, for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the rice continue to steam for another 5 minutes. Serve.
