Yield
Serves 6
Ingredients
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup chopped onion
1 green bell pepper, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 6-ounce packages long-grain and wild rice mix (reserve seasoning packets for another use)
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 cups canned chicken broth, heated
Preparation
Step 1
Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper and garlic and sauté until just soft, about 8 minutes. Add rice and chili powder and stir until well blended, about 1 minute. Mix in tomato sauce and heat through. Mix in 1/4 cup cilantro and broth. Bring mixture to boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes.
Step 2
Transfer rice to bowl. Garnish with remaining 1/4 cup cilantro and serve.
