Spanish Rice


This was amazing, my first attempt at Spanish rice that did not come from a box.

2 cups of Basmati rice (any rice can be used, this just happens to be my favorite)
1 small green poblano pepper, chopped
1 small red pepper, chopped (any red pepper, or pepper will do make sure it is not too hot in heat)
1/2 white onion, diced
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 clove of garlic, chopped
1 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

So rice sometimes escapes me in how to cook it perfectly, so I am not going to give instructions  just follow the package and it should be just fine. The only advice I can give you is substitute chicken or beef broth for water to give the rice some flavor. While your rice is cooking you can prep all your ingredients, chopping all the peppers, garlic and onions. Put oil in a medium sauce pan and add all the veggies except the garlic and tomatoes. Saute on medium heat for 8 minutes then add garlic, saute for another 4 minutes and reduce heat to low add rice, then tomatoes. Heat through and stir constantly as to not burn the rice.
