Bell Pepper Rice Delight
Ingredients Needed
-
2 cups water
-
1 cup long-grain rice
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 small sweet onion, finely chopped
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 small green bell pepper, chopped
-
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
-
1 teaspoon dried basil
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 tiny pinch salt
-
1 splash dry white wine
-
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (Optional)
Instructions
-
In a saucepan, bring water and rice to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer until the rice is fully cooked and the liquid has been absorbed, approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onions in the hot oil for about 3 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until the onion turns translucent. Stir in the bell peppers and cook for 5 minutes or until softened. Season with basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
-
Pour in the wine and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the mixture simmer until the liquid reduces by half, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked rice to the skillet and mix well with the vegetables. Serve topped with Parmesan cheese.
