Rinse rice several times under cold water in a sieve and drain. 2. Cook the onion, bell pepper, and carrot in vegan margarine for 2 minutes. 3. Add the rice and cook another minute, allowing rice to get thoroughly coated with margarine. 4. Add the hot broth, and salt and bring to a boil. 5. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes on low heat, until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender (do not stir while cooking). 6. Fluff rice with a fork and garnish with chopped cilantro. 7. Serve hot. ### Notes: This rice is a mild tasting pilaf-type of rice that goes well with spicy foods. If you like to spice it up, adding some chopped green chiles works well. Note: The original recipe instructions mistakenly mentioned cooking the vegetables in 'lard', despite listing 'vegan margarine' in the ingredients. The instructions have been corrected to use the vegan margarine. **Serving info:** Total recipe: 926g · Yields 4 portions · Portion size: 231g | Nutrient | Per 100g | Per Portion | % Daily Value | |---|---|---|---| | Energy (kcal) | 135 | 313 | 15% | | Carbohydrates (g) | 24.7 | 57.2 | 21% | | ↳ of which sugars (g) | 0.4 | 1.0 | - | | Dietary fiber (g) | 0.5 | 1.3 | 5% | | Protein (g) | 2.3 | 5.3 | 11% | | Total fat (g) | 2.5 | 5.9 | 8% | | ↳ Saturated (g) | 0.6 | 1.5 | 8% | | ↳ Monounsaturated (g) | 1.1 | 2.5 | - | | ↳ Polyunsaturated (g) | 0.5 | 1.2 | - | | ↳ Trans (g) | 0.0 | 0.0 | - | | Sodium (mg) | 445 | 1031 | 45% | | Calcium (mg) | 8.6 | 20.0 | 2% | | Iron (mg) | 1.3 | 3.0 | 17% | | Potassium (mg) | 54 | 125 | 3% | | Vitamin C (mg) | 3.2 | 7.5 | 8% | | Vitamin B12 (µg) | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0% | ### Ingredient data sources - Long grain rice, uncooked — 277g — Rice, white, long-grain, regular, raw, unenriched — USDA SR Legacy - Vegan margarine — 28g — Margarine-like, vegetable oil spread, 60% fat, stick, with salt — USDA SR Legacy - Onion — 40g — Onions, raw — USDA SR Legacy - Red bell pepper — 18g — Peppers, sweet, red, raw — USDA SR Legacy - Carrots — 15g — Carrots, raw — USDA SR Legacy - Vegetable broth — 540g — Soup, vegetable broth, ready to serve — USDA SR Legacy - Salt — 6g — Salt, table — USDA SR Legacy - Cilantro — 2g — Coriander (cilantro) leaves, raw — USDA SR Legacy ⚠️ = estimated or sourced outside the listed databases. % Daily Value based on FDA 2020 Daily Values for adults (2,000 kcal diet).
