I came up with this dish, but my sister loves it so much that I had to name it for her. Sometimes I saute the rice and vegetables ahead of time to save time at the last minute. I use whole canned tomatoes and don't break them up much, so that my picky hubby can eat around them.
Ingredients:
1 cup rice
1/2 sweet onion, diced
1/4 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 garlic clove, crushed
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
1 -2 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 cups water (cold)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can tomatoes with juice
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons cilantro
1/2 small carrot, minced
1/8 cup frozen peas
Directions:
1. Saute rice, onion, bell pepper and garlic in olive oil and butter, stirring until onions are translucent.
2. Add remaining ingredient and bring to a gentle boil.
3. Cover and simmer 30-35 minutes, or until rice is tender. Don't remove lid until suggested cooking time is over.
