Mexican rice



Good served as a side with tacos etc.

1 cup brown rice (uncooked)
2 cloves of garlic minced
2 1/4 cup water
1/2 onion, chopped
1-2 Tab of chopped celery (fine)
1/4 cup or so of picante sauce
1/4 of a green bell pepper, chopped in small pieces
couple dashes of oregano
pinch of red cayenne pepper
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp chili powder
1 tab olive oil
salt to taste

Heat oil in pot. Brown rice while stirring. Add garlic just as rice gets brown. Add the rest of the ingredients and cook until rice is done (35-50 minutes depending on the rice you have)--you can add a bit more water if needed.
