This colorful confetti rice is a traditional dish in Puerto Rico. We enjoy it in the summer alongside grilled shrimp kabobs, but it is good with most any entree. -Laura Lunardi of West Chester, Pennsylvania
Ingredients:
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small sweet yellow pepper, finely chopped
1 small sweet red pepper, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups water
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
3/4 teaspoon salt
