Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups long grain rice, I use Mahatma
2 1/4 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion
1 small green bell pepper
8 ounces tomato sauce
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon powder, I use Knorr
1 teaspoon chili powder, I use Spice Islands
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/2 cup frozen peas and carrot

Steps:

  • Wash and drain rice.
  • Put peeled onion and bell pepper in food procesor and pulse until it is in very small pieces.
  • Put olive oil in pan and saute drained rice for a couple of minutes.
  • Add onion and bell pepper mix and saute for about 1 minute.
  • Add water, bouillon power, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and frozen peas & carrots.
  • Boil at med-high heat until water is down to just below the level of the rice. You should still see some bubbling on the surface. This takes about 10 minutes. Cover pan, turn burner down immediately to simmer and leave for 10 minutes more. Turn off heat and leave rice sitting on the burner for at least 10 minutes, undisturbed and covered. Fluff and serve.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I had to substitute salsa. It turned out great!

This recipe is way too bland. It needs more seasoning.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my rice turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll just use less chili powder next time.
