Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 green bell pepper, diced

2 teaspoons ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 cup converted (parboiled, not instant) white rice

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Steps:
