Rinse the rice until the water runs clear and drain well.
Set your rice cooker to sauté (or use a skillet) to cook onion and garlic in olive oil.
Add the rice and toast for 2–3 minutes until lightly golden.
Stir in tomato sauce, chicken broth, and spices.
Close the lid and set to ‘white rice’ or your standard cook cycle.
