How To Make central american rice

Step 1

Rinse rice thoroughly in a strainer until the water runs clear. Let is drain well.

Step 2

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the rice and stir until slightly brown. Add onions, bell pepper, and garlic. Saute 1-2 minutes.
Step 3

Add the water and salt; cover and cook until all water is absorbed. If more water is needed to get the rice tender, add very small amounts at a time.
Step 4

Allow rice to sit off heat for 10 minutes.
