Heat the oil in a saute pan on medium high heat. 2. Add the rice, bell pepper, onion, garlic, celery, carrots, and tomato and saute until the rice is no longer translucent, 10 minutes. 3. Add the water and the bouillon powder and stir. Bring mixture to a boil and taste the liquid. Add salt or more bouillon powder if needed to taste. 4. Cover and cook on medium low for 20 minutes. 5. Turn heat off and allow the rice to sit for 10 minutes. ### Notes: This rice dish is served alongside beans with every evening meal in El Salvador. I actually prefer it over spanish rice now as it has more veggies and more flavor! **Serving info:** Total recipe: 700g · Yields 6 portions · Portion size: 116g | Nutrient | Per 100g | Per Portion | % Daily Value | |---|---|---|---| | Energy (kcal) | 121 | 141 | 7% | | Carbohydrates (g) | 22.9 | 26.6 | 10% | | ↳ of which sugars (g) | 1.0 | 1.2 | 2% | | Dietary fiber (g) | 0.9 | 1.1 | 4% | | Protein (g) | 2.1 | 2.5 | 5% | | Total fat (g) | 2.1 | 2.5 | 3% | | ↳ Saturated (g) | 0.3 | 0.4 | 2% | | ↳ Monounsaturated (g) | 1.3 | 1.5 | - | | ↳ Polyunsaturated (g) | 0.4 | 0.5 | - | | ↳ Trans (g) | 0.0 | 0.0 | - | | Sodium (mg) | 215 | 250 | 11% | | Calcium (mg) | 13 | 15 | 1% | | Iron (mg) | 0.7 | 0.8 | 4% | | Potassium (mg) | 95 | 110 | 2% | | Vitamin C (mg) | 6.9 | 8.0 | 9% | | Vitamin B12 (µg) | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0% | ### Ingredient data sources - Jasmine rice — 185g — Rice, white, long-grain, raw — USDA - Vegetable oil — 14g — Oil, vegetable, canola — USDA - Green bell pepper — 37g — Peppers, sweet, green, raw — USDA - White onion — 40g — Onions, raw — USDA - Garlic — 3g — Garlic, raw — USDA - Celery — 15g — Celery, raw — USDA - Carrots — 15g — Carrots, baby, raw — USDA - Roma tomato — 62g — Tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average — USDA - Vegetable bouillon powder — 6g — Soup, bouillon cubes and granules, dry — USDA ⚠️ ⚠️ = estimated or sourced outside the listed databases. % Daily Value based on FDA 2020 Daily Values for adults (2,000 kcal diet).
