- In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. When it comes to a boil, remove from heat and set aside.
- Heat oil in large pot over medium-high heat, until a piece of onion sizzles when added. Add garlic, peppers and onions to oil. Stir veggies; turn heat down to medium when onions start to brown around the edges. Add tomatoes, stirring until heated through.
- Add all seasonings and continue to stir over medium heat until veggies are evenly coated. While cooking the vegetables, rinse the rice 3 times, until the water runs clear. Add rinsed rice to veggies, stirring for approximately 1 minute, coating rice with the seasoned veggie mix.
- Pour in hot water and stir well, making sure to scrape any rice off the bottom and sides of the pot.
- Let rice come to a boil and partly dry out. Watch for when holes or pockets appear on rice, lower heat to lowest setting and then cover with lid. Keep covered for 25 minutes - do NOT remove lid.
- Uncover, stir rice and serve.

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
