• Melt butter over medium heat in medium saucepan. In the meantime, cut your 1/2 onion into vey small diced pieces.
• Add rice when butter is melted. Stir until rice becomes light brown. Add onions, and stir until onions become transclucent. Do not let them get brown. They are for flavoring only.
• Stir in tomato paste and spice to your tastes. Stir to mix ingredients. Let mixture come almost to a boil and then add the water. Stir to make sure everything is mixed well.
• Let it sit on medium to medium high heat until water is completely boiled out. You are looking for a slow boil. Do not stir. May take between 20-25 minutes, depending on your stove.

Steps:

• In a skillet, saute onion and green pepper in oil for about 2 minutes. Add rice and stir until coated with oil. Add tomatoes, turmeric, cumin, salt, garlic powder and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Add cilantro if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Mix rice into skillet, stirring often. When rice begins to brown, stir in chicken broth and salsa. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes, until liquid has been absorbed.

Steps:

• Blend vegetables, salt and stock or water together into a mostly smooth purée (a few small pieces of onion and pepper are fine).
• In a large skillet with a tightfitting lid, heat oil. Add rice and toast until it absorbs most of the oil and begins to smell nutty.
• Add blended ingredients, stir gently with a wooden spoon to prevent breaking up the rice too much and bring to a light boil. Cover, reduce heat to the lowest setting possible and cook undisturbed for 17 minutes. Let sit for another 10 minutes.
