Ingredients:
1/4 cup unsalted butter |
1/2 white onion, finely chopped |
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 1/4 inch dice |
2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1/2 small savoy cabbage, core removed, thinly sliced |
4 ripe plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped |
4 cups water |
1 pound long-grain white rice |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
4 green onions, light and dark green parts only, finely sliced |
Directions:
1. Wash rice and drain. 2. In a large heavy saucepan heat the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until just beginning to soften. Add rice, red pepper and the cumin and stir together for 2 minutes. Add the cabbage and tomato and cook for 3 minutes more, or until the mixture is thickened. Add the water and salt, increase the heat to mediumhigh and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat a little so that the liquid is simmering actively. Stir every minute or 2 until the rice is almost dry, then reduce the heat to very low, and stir in the green onion. Cover tightly, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 5 minutes more. |
