Tomato Fried Rice Topped w/ Basil

I've always loved fried rice. I thought maybe I can change it a bit and try this recipe that I've read fromConnie Veneracion's blog. By the way, I love reading Connie's posts. She's smart, well scratch that, she's a really intelligent & highly opinionated lady. She's a lawyer (aside from being ultimate "culinary mama") and is the voice behind the Sassy Lawyer blog to which I think she'd already changed the name to Casa Veneracion blog.

So here's the recipe lifted from her blog. Compliments to Connie of Home Cooking Rocks. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1. 1/4 c. of olive oil
   1 onion, finely sliced
   2 cloves of garlic, minced
   2 c. of cooked rice
   1/4 c. of chunky tomato sauce
   sweet basil leaves, thinly sliced or roughly chopped, whichever you prefer
2. Pour off the olive oil until only about 3 tbsps. remain in the pan. Saute the onion and garlic until fragrant. Add the rice and tomato sauce. Cook, stirring, until the rice is heated through and has absorbed the tomato sauce.
   Turn off the heat. Sprinkle with the basil leaves and serve hot.
