Level: Easy
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- ½ Small diced red pepper
- ½ Green pepper, diced
- 1 Small sweet onion, chopped
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1-½ cup Uncooked long grain white rice
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 box (14 1/2 oz. size) Salsa Style Tomatoes
Preparation
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add peppers and onions and cook until slightly tender, about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring several times. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly so the garlic doesn’t burn. Remove the vegetables to a plate.
In the same skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the rice and cook until it begins to brown. Stir in chicken broth and salsa-style tomatoes. Return the pepper and onion mixture to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a full boil.
Cover with an airtight lid and bring to a simmer. Do not look. Cook for 20 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
