INSTRUCTIONS
Heat one tbsp oil in a heavy saucepan. Stir in the onion and garlic,
and saute, stirring just until tender, about 5-minutes. Stir in the
rice until coated with oil. Add the water (or broth and water) and
salt, then heat to boiling. Cover and cook the rice over medium-low
heat until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about
15-minutes. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tbsp of oil in a large
skillet. Add the carrot, celery, and red onion, and saute, stirring,
until tender but not browned, about 5-minutes. Add the green bell
pepper and saute until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Set aside. Toss
half of the sauteed vegetables with the cooked rice just before
serving. Spread a mound of the rice in shallow soup plates and top
with the beans. Garnish each with a spoonful of the remaining sauteed
vegetables. From RICE by Marie Simmons. New York: Henry Holt & Co,
