2 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 small carrots, diced fine

½ green pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp fresh chopped cilantro (chopped)
2 cup raw rice
1 Tbsp additional olive oil
1½ tsp salt
4 Tbsp tomato paste
3½ cup water
In a frying pan, over medium heat, add olive oil. Saute onion, carrots, and peppers for two to three minutes until onions are translucent. ADd garlic and saute another minute. Add cilantro, rice, additional olive oil, salt and tomato paste and stir well to coat the rice evenly.
Add 31/2 cups water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes.
If it doesn't look done (i.e., there is still water in the bottom of the pot) cook it for a few more minutes until all the water is gone. Do not stir it or it will get gummy.
