Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small sweet onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tiny pinch salt
  • 1 splash dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (Optional)

Directions

Step 1
Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and continue cooking until onion is translucent, 2 to 3 minutes more. Add bell peppers; cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with basil, oregano, black pepper, and salt.

Step 3
Pour wine into the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until liquid is reduced, about 5 minutes. Stir in cooked rice until well combined with vegetables. Top with Parmesan cheese to serve.
