4 cups long grain rice
-
8 cups water
-
1 small onion, minced
-
2 teaspoons salt
-
⅛ teaspoon annatto powder
-
⅛ teaspoon paprika
-
black pepper to taste

Transfer the rice to a large pot with a snug-fitting lid. Add water, then stir in the onion, salt, annatto powder, paprika, and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer. After 10 minutes, gently fold in the peas. Continue cooking until the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes. Garnish with pimento slices before serving.
