Mami's Rice
The rice that my mother prepares is the result of all the different tastes we have in my family. We like a good, homemade rice that has a hint of onion and chicken broth. Before preparing the rice, it’s important to remember the famous Mise en place; to have all your ingredients in place and ready to go before you start cooking. Otherwise, you might burn the garlic!

DIRECTIONS
- Heat the oil in a large fry pan. Saute the onion in the oil until it’s nice and golden colored. Remove the onion.
- Add the garlic, tomato, red/green pepper and the rice. Saute everything until the rice doesn’t stick to itself. (about 5-8 minutes). Add the lime juice and the bouillon. Saute it one more minute.
- Add the 4 cups of water and then cover it. When the water begins to boil, lower the temperature and let it cook for 25 minutes (35 minutes for high altitude).
- Enjoy! This is a gluten free side dish for 4-6 people, depending on how much they love rice!
