Coat the bottom of a cast iron skillet with olive oil, bring to medium heat.

Add the uncooked white rice

Toast the rice untill it turns slightly brown to brown, stirring occasionally

Once the rice is toasted add the shallot, onion, garlic. Continue to cook ingredients 3 to 4 mins longer.

Pour in the chicken broth, tomatoe sauce, jalapeno peppers, salt, pepper and cumin. Stirr ingredients thoroughly.

Cover and let simmer about 20 or 30 mins untill rice is done and free of liquid.

Serve hot, I personaly like to refrigerate and serve warm the next day.
