Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic peeled, but left whole
  • 4 tomatoes, coarsely chopped
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • 1 chicken, beef or vegetable bouillon cube
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 4 cups cooked rice
  • 15-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • Salt, to taste
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, to taste
  • Freshly grated Parmesan, to taste

Directions

In a deep skillet or saute pan set over moderate heat, warm the oil until it is hot. Add the onion, green pepper, and garlic, and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the tomatoes, bay leaves, oregano, Italian seasoning, and lemon pepper, and cook the mixture 1 minute. Dissolve the bouillon in the water, add to the tomato mixture and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.

Add the rice, cannellini beans, and salt, and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes more, or until beans and rice are heated through. Mixture will have the consistency of a risotto. Remove and discard bay leaves. Season with the olive oil and sprinkle with cheese to taste.

    I loved this dish, but the only change I made was to use chicken broth instead of the bouillon. Otherwise it was nice and easy to make.

    Although, I didn't have peppers & lemon pepper in, I just cooked recipe according to instructions. I did add two things Andouille Sausage & a squeeze of fresh lemon juice & I used brown rice. I thought it was very good. The only change I would make is chopping the garlic instead of leaving it whole. I actually heated up the left overs for lunch & mix in some grilled garlic shrimp, YUM.
