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
Directions
- 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.
- Transfer rice to bowl. Garnish with remaining 1/4 cup cilantro and serve.
