Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup brown rice
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 large shallot (minced)
• 1/2 large green bell pepper (seeded and diced)
• 1/2 large red bell pepper (seeded and diced)
• 1/4 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/8 tsp. cayenne (to taste)

In a medium-size saucepan, heat 2 1/2 cups water and the salt. When the liquid comes to a boil, stir in the brown rice.

Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 40 to 45 minutes. Do not boil away all of the liquid and do not stir the rice.

When a very small amount of liquid remains (about 1 tablespoon), remove the pan from the burner and let it stand, covered, for 3 minutes.

While the rice is cooking, heat the oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.

Add the peppers and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add the cumin, chili powder, oregano, and cayenne.

Cook for about 1 minute, stirring until the spices are well blended.

When cooked, set the veggeis aside until the rice is done.

When the rice is cooked and has stood for 3 minutes, add the spiced veggies and stir well.

Serve.
