Spanish Rice from Scratch

This recipe is my compilation from a few different recipes.  It's cooking right now, so I hope it's good!

Saute in pan until soft and translucent: 1 onion finely diced, 3 cloves garlic finely diced, and 1 TBSP oil or fat (I used kidney lard - yum!).  Add in 1 1/2 cups brown rice, and toast lightly.  Carefully add 2 1/2 cups water or stock, 8 oz tomato paste, a pinch of corriander, two pinches of cumin, and salt and pepper to taste, stirring thoroughly.  Allow to come to full boil, then reduce to simmer, and allow to cook for 35-45 mins, until done.
