"This is another one which is based on the Wise Encyclopedia of Cookery [1970's Edition] recipe, but has been altered to suit our own tastes. It is not hot in the least bit. To add the spicy flavor, add in 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne."

ingredients

1 cup brown rice, uncooked
4 tablespoons virgin olive oil
1 large onion, diced
1 bell pepper, minced
1 garlic clove
4 cups diced canned tomatoes
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon cumin
¹⁄₈ teaspoon sweet marjoram or 1/8 teaspoon oregano

directions

Wash, drain, and dry the rice thoroughly. Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan and cook the rice, stirring constantly, until it is a golden brown.
Add the onion, pepper, and garlic, and continue cooking about 5 minutes.
Transfer to a casserole. Heat the tomatoes with the seasonings in frying pan and pour over the rice, mixing well in the casserole.
Cover and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Do NOT stir while baking!
If the liquid cooks away before the rice is tender, add a few teaspoons of hot water to moisten. There should be no excessive liquid.

Once known as KytchenWytch. Both my Wife and i love to cook, and we love to eat, so our premium membership with this site is a partnership made by the Gods. i am a short order cook by trade, and my Wife is a published movie reviewer. We both administrate our small non profit from home, which allows us to cook more often than other couples, but we still don't have a lot of time to prepare complicated meals. RecipeZaar is the best for anyone who wants a quick recipe, or needs to learn about a complicated piece of kitchen equipment...and anything in between. :) We LOVE it here! my sweet Wife has been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. i'm still learning how to cook for Her, so that Her Forever will pace with mine. i change my user name often. sorry, but i bore easily. oh, and just to warn people, i've donated my hair to locks for love, so it's short now ... VERY short. new photos will come soon. About my Icons my darling Wife took Her personal time to WitchCraft these for me. ;) She's the best. She's the greatest. She's my whole heart.
