"Fancy" Mexican Rice

This is not your authentic, restaurant-style Mexican Rice. It is rice that is chock-full of stuff. A fun change every once in a while.


Recipe Courtesy of Alana's Mom from allrecipes.com


INGREDIENTS
1 cup long grain white rice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, chopped
1 tomato, seeded and chopped
1 cube chicken bouillon
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 clove garlic, halved


DIRECTIONS
In a medium sauce pan, cook rice in oil over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Stir in onion, green pepper, jalapeno, and diced tomato. Season with bouillon cube, salt and pepper, cumin, cilantro, and garlic. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes.

Note: On occasion, I choose to add the cilantro just before serving, as I love the taste of freshly chopped cilantro.
