Creating Tomato Infused Rice is simple if you follow these clear steps:

1. Heat Oil: In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Onion: Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add Tomatoes: Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they start to break down.
4. Incorporate Tomato Paste: Add the tomato paste, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well for a flavorful base.
5. Combine Rice: Pour in the rice, stirring until all grains are well-coated in the tomato mixture.
6. Add Broth: Pour in the broth and bring to a gentle boil.
7. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover. Allow it to simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
8. Fluff and Rest: Remove from heat, let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Then fluff with a fork.
9. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil or parsley if desired.

Following these steps will ensure your Tomato Infused Rice is full of flavor and cooked to perfection!
