  • 1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 cup tomatoes, diced
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano leaves

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. When it comes to a boil, remove from heat and set aside.
  2. 2
    Heat oil in large pot over medium-high heat, until a piece of onion sizzles when added. Add garlic, peppers and onions to oil. Stir veggies; turn heat down to medium when onions start to brown around the edges. Add tomatoes, stirring until heated through.
  3. 3
    Add all seasonings and continue to stir over medium heat until veggies are evenly coated. While cooking the vegetables, rinse the rice 3 times, until the water runs clear. Add rinsed rice to veggies, stirring for approximately 1 minute, coating rice with the seasoned veggie mix.
  4. 4
    Pour in hot water and stir well, making sure to scrape any rice off the bottom and sides of the pot.
  5. 5
    Let rice come to a boil and partly dry out. Watch for when holes or pockets appear on rice, lower heat to lowest setting and then cover with lid. Keep covered for 25 minutes - do NOT remove lid.
  6. 6
    Uncover, stir rice and serve.
