Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups uncooked parboiled rice Uncle Ben's recommended
- 1/4 cups chicken stock base
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place the rice in a 3- or 4-quart baking dish. Cover with very hot tap water and stir vigorously to clean and soften the rice. Drain the rice in a colander. Repeat twice with fresh hot water.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken base with 1 quart of very hot tap water. Mix well with a wire whisk.
- Add the dissolved chicken base to the soaked rice, mix well, and place the rice in the oven uncovered for 15 minutes.
- Remove the rice from the oven, add the melted butter, and mix thoroughly. Cover the dish and return it to the oven for 15 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the green and red bell peppers in a mixing bowl and cover them with very hot tap water. Set aside to soften.
- When the rice has finished baking, drain and rinse the softened peppers. Add the peppers and cilantro to the rice, mix thoroughly, and serve.
