We had this at Kim and Michael’s when we visited them in Sittard during our trip to the Netherlands in April 2011. They had prepared a Tex-Mex lunch with a fantastic beef fajita and one of the sides was this really nice rice that Kim made!
I finally had a chance to try and make it this week and I served it with my Nando’s Style Roast Chicken and a salad. It looks a bit different from Kim’s because I used our organic mixed wild rice. Hubby said it was nice and I guess I’ll be making it again!
INGREDIENTS
1/2-1 bell pepper, any colour
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 stalk of celery
1 tomato
1.5 cups brown rice
3 cups chicken broth
DIRECTIONS
Sauté peppers, celery, garlic and onions in a bit of oil until they’re translucent and a bit brown.
Add brown rice and stir to coat with oil. Sauté until it starts to brown a bit and smell nutty.
Add chopped tomato, and fresh black pepper
Add three cups of very hot chicken broth (you can also use veggie broth). Bring to a hard boil, cover and turn down the heat as low as you can. Allow to cook for about 45 minutes.
If you are not yet ready to eat, turn off the burner and just leave it on the burner covered.
