Bring the following to a boil in a saucepan:

2 1/2 cups water

3/4 tsp. salt

 

Then add the following:

1 cup brown rice

 

Reduce heat to lowest setting. Simmer covered 50 minutes or more, if

at all possible, until water is used up and rice is tender.

 

Then stir in:

1 cup tomato puree

1/2 c. finely chopped onion

1/2 c. chopped black olives

1 - 4 oz. jar pimentos

1/2 tsp. cumin

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

 

Continue cooking on lowest setting 20 minutes, stirring occasionally

to prevent burning.

 

Serve hot.

 

Serves 6-8 and can be served with any Mexican menu.
