Cuban Yellow Rice

Recipe Created By: Kathy Przywara

2 tbsp olive oil

3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped

1 medium yellow onion, peeled and diced

1 medium red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and diced

1 cup frozen peas or peas and carrots

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp salt

1 Tbsp annatto oil

1 pinch saffron (optional)

2 cups long-grain rice

4 cups water (can use part chicken stock)

Annatto Oil has the bitter flavor and yellowish orange color of saffron, but is much less expensive.

This can be topped with browned boneless chicken breasts before starting to simmer for a great one pot meal.

I make this in my rice cooker by putting the machine on “quick/steam” setting to saute the veggies. I add the rest and close the lid. The beeper goes off when it’s done!
