1
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the long-grain rice. Stir until the rice is slightly browned.
2
Remove the skillet from the heat and add the chopped yellow onion and minced garlic. Stir until the onions are translucent. The residual heat of the pan should be enough to cook onions and garlic without burning them.
3
Add water, unsalted chicken broth, tomato sauce and chicken bouillon cube to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
4
Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
5
Gently stir the rice, and if using, add the mixed vegetables. Cover and let it simmer for another 10 minutes.
6
After the final 10 minutes of cooking, turn the heat off, fluff the rice with a fork, and cover it again for another 3 to 5 minutes, allowing the remaining liquid to be absorbed.
