    | 1. Heat vegetable oil on Medium-High heat and add the rice. | 2. Stir rice to fully coat in oil and fry for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning and ensure thorough cooking of the rice. | 3. Add the Garlic, Onion, Garlic Salt and regular Salt and continue cooking until rice is golden brown (about 3-5 minutes), stirring occasionally. | 4. Add the Tomato sauce, El Pato sauce and Diced Tomatoes and mix together. Continue cooking for another minute. | 5. Add Lemon juice and Knorr bouillon and mix, cook for another minute. | 6. Add the water and Cilantro, stir and bring sauce to a boil. (at this point, before boiling, you can taste the sauce and add more Salt to taste). | 7. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover the rice, cooking for 25 more minutes (It is extremely important to NOT stir the rice at this point, just cover and wait 25 minutes). | 8. After 25 minutes, mix the rice and it is ready to serve. | 9. This recipe makes approximately 10 servings. Halve the ingredients, omit one can of El Pato and use an 8 oz. can of diced tomatoes instead of 10 oz. to make approximately 5-6 servings. Enjoy! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
