Heat oil over medium heat.  Add in rice and sauté rice for about 3 to 5 minutes or until toasted and golden – don’t leave this unattended, because rice burns very easily. Lower the heat and quickly add tomatoes, onion, spices and then sauté for about 3 more minutes.  Next add water and broth.  Add tomato sauce, salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine. Cover and simmer on low for about 30 to 45 minutes – lightly stirring every 10 minutes – until rice is tender.
