1 med onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 orange bell pepper, chopped
1/2 t turmeric
1/2 t salt

1/4 cup chopped parsley

In a med saucepan bring broth and juice to a boil over high heat. Stir in remaining ingredients except parsley. Reduce heat to low and cook covered to about 20 minutes.

Thank you for posting this recipe. My husband loves rice and I am going to try this tomorrow.

Looks good. I wonder if it would work if you just tossed everything in a rice cooker?

[DiAnne]

Charhug - Hope you husband enjoys it!

FunkyHulaGirl -I have never used a rice cooker so I have no idea but since nothing is sautéed it seems like it would.

DiAnne, thank you!

I made this Sat. and served it w/ Baramundi Sea Bass.

It was JUST delicious and easy! Best rice I have ever made (that didn't come in a microwave pouch!) Very fresh tasting!

I used Trader Joe's Quick Cooking Organic Brown Rice. Finished in about 18 mins.

I didn't have tumeric so I used curry since that was suggested when I googled sub for tumeric.

I am going to make all my rice with broth from now on! Hmm...I wonder if this can be made with orange juice?

Anyways...we loved it so thank you!

Respectlife - Thanks for taking the time to get back to me. It is always nice to get feed back and I am so happy you liked the rice.

I am going through some old recipes from long ago - it is amazing how different I cook now. A lot of recipes have gone in the trash!

I'm bumping this recipe up. We had this with our dinner last night, and it was very tasty!

I served it with a ham slice and sautéed cherry tomatoes. The mild pineapple flavor of the rice went well with the ham.

I used half an onion and one red pepper - I dropped the orange pepper to save money. Half a green pepper would also work. The turmeric gives nice color and flavor.

So quick and easy to make. This recipe is a keeper.

Sounds great DiAnne! FHG, I would try this in my cooker. I do all rice recipes in it and they turn out just fine.

peachesncream - I am glad you enjoyed it. If your family eats salmon the sweetness goes well with that also.

We love salmon - especially DH. Thanks for that suggestion.
