	Mexican Rice 05

		Mexican Style Rice 1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice 1 medium yellow onion 1/2 green bell pepper 1 medium red tomato 1 tsp salt 1 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp ground comino (cumin) 8 oz can tomato sauce 2 cups hot water 2 tbsp vegetable oil Chop the onion, tomato, bell pepper and set aside. All stirring called for in this recipe should be done with a fork to avoid "mushing" the rice. In a heavy skillet, heat the oil over high heat until very hot but not quite smoking. Add the rice and stir. Fry the rice until it's golden brown. (This is a very important step if you want "real" spanish rice. Add the chopped onion, tomato, bell pepper, garlic powder, salt, and comino. Stir for a couple of minutes until the vegetables are partially cooked. Add the tomato sauce and hot water. Stir until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until it reaches desired consistancy, stirring occasionally.
