mexican confetti rice

I made diego chicken last night, one of our favorites and needed some rice to go with it so made this and it was fantastic.  Now I have two favorite Mexican rices- cilantro lime and this confetti rice.

mexican confetti rice (pass the peas, please)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup dry brown basmati rice (yes basmati- I buy it in bulk so I use it for everything- love the flavor)
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 heaping teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup minced onion
1/2 cup minced green bell pepper
1/2 cup minced fresh tomatoes
1/2 cup minced carrots
1/2 cup tomato sauce

In a large saucepan with a lid, heat olive oil.  Add onion, bell peppers, tomatoes and carrots until tender.  Add salt, cumin, garlic, rice and broth.  Bring to a boil.  Cover and let simmer until rice is done (depends on the kind of rice you use).  Should you choose to use a different kind of rice, use the amount of rice and water the recipe calls for.  When rice is done, stir in tomato sauce and serve.  It's delicious with a dallop of fat free sour cream on top.
