Prep Time: 10 minutes

1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and onion;
cook, stirring frequently for 2 minutes. Add rice, stirring to coat. Cook,
stirring frequently, for 2 minutes.
2. Stir in broth and cumin; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low
and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes.
3. Add broccoli, lima beans, and water to skillet; cover. Cook until
broccoli is tender, about 8 minutes. Add red and green bell peppers. Cover
and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.

cheese melts, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
Cook' Tips:
Coating the rice with the oil prevents it from sticking. Using a wooden
spoon, stir the rice into the onion mixture, coating it well.
Try other types of rice for quicker cooking or slightly different textures
and flavor. Short grain rice has a higher starch content and often sticks
together. Long grain rice produces a lighter rice dish. Brown rice has a
nutritious bran coating with a nutty flavor. Usse instant brown rice or
boil-in-a-bag rice. Also consider packaged pilaf or flavored rice mixes.
Health Check:
Lima beans are high in fiber and folic acid.
Brown rice has three times as much fiber as white rice.
Peppers are rich in vitamins A and C. Posted to TNT - Prodigy's Recipe
