Ingredients
1.5 cups White Rice
1 box of 32 oz Vegetable Broth
3 whole Red bell pepper
2 or 3 whole Tomaotes
2 tbs Tomatoe Paste
2-3 minced cloves Garlic
1 dice White Onion
1 tbs Dash Seasoning
2 tbs Olive Oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Cut the red bell pepper, tomatoes, and onion into chunks, and place them on a baking sheet. Remove the seeds and core of the bell pepper.
Drizzle olive oil on the vegetables and bake them in the oven for 15 minutes.
Once the vegetables are roasted, transfer them to a blender and blend the mixture until smooth.
Heat a sauté pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat, and sauté minced garlic and onion until soft and fragrant.
Add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and 1 tablespoon of Dash seasoning to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Add the blended vegetable sauce to the pan and cook for a few more minutes over low heat. Stir well while the sauce is cooking.
While the sauce is cooking, wash 2 cups of white rice until the water is clear.
Add the washed rice to the pan with the sauce, and then add 2 cups of vegetable broth. Stir well and cover with a lid.
Cook the rice and sauce over medium heat, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent sticking. You may need to add more vegetable broth to keep the rice moist.
Check the rice for doneness. If it's still raw and looks dry, add another 1-2 cups of vegetable broth, stir well, and cover again.
When the rice is fully cooked, it's ready to serve.
