Ingredients to serve 6 people
2 Cups Basmati or Long Grain Rice
2 ½ Cups Water
1 Red Capsicum
1 Green Capsicum
1 Golden Capsicum
1 Large onion
1 Pod finely chopped garlic
1 Tbs Oil
1-2 Tsp Salt
A small bunch of fresh coriander leaves (chopped fine)
Capsicum Rice
Preparation
Cook the Rice separately in a pressure cooker
There are also other Methods of cooking Rice
Slice all the vegetables lengthwise
Heat oil in a pan, add the sliced onions and sauté for a couple of minutes
Add the varieties of the sliced capsicums and fry for a few minutes (do not overcook the vegetables)
Fold through the cooked rice and sprinkle the salt (preferably with a wooden laddle)
Garnish the rice with freshly chopped coriander leaves and it is ready to be served
Note: You can use any capsicum variety that is available – My preference is to use the different varieties of capsicums to add colour and taste to the dish.
