Servings: 6

 

Ingredients:

1 (10-ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chiles*

1 (14.5-ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth (substitute vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)

1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder

Optional garnish: chopped fresh cilantro

1/2 green bell pepper, chopped

1/2 teaspoon each ground cumin, oregano, and kosher salt

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 small onion, diced (about 1 cup)

1 cup uncooked long grain white rice

Equipment:

frying pan

pot

Cooking instruction summary:

Heat the oil in a medium-size pot or a deep skillet with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat. Saut the onion and bell pepper until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the rice and saut, stirring regularly, until the rice starts to toast and turn golden brown, about 4-5 minutes more. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano and salt and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Immediately add the tomatoes with their juices, and stir to combine and dislodge any rice thats sticking to the corners of the pan. Add the chicken broth, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. As soon as the mixture boils, give it a good stir, cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Simmer, covered, for approximately 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and allow to rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir the rice, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, if desired, and enjoy.

Food Joke

The dinner party Freda and Moshe Levy won 8 million pounds in the National Lottery. They immediately went out to begin a life of living in luxury. They bought a luxurious mansion in Northwood, surrounded themselves with all the material wealth imaginable and decided to hire a butler. After much searching, they found the perfect one. One day, they instructed the butler to set up a dinner for four because they were inviting their friends, the Cohens, over for dinner and they will be going out for the day. When they returned that evening, they found the table set for six. When they asked the butler why six places were set when they specifically instructed him to set the table for four, the butler replied: "The Cohens called and said that they were bringing the Bagels."
