Steps:

• Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook rice according to package directions, using broth instead of water; set aside. In a small skillet, saute the green pepper, celery, onion and garlic in water until tender. Add the tomato, seasoned salt if desired, chili powder, pepper and cooked rice. Cook 3-4 minutes or until heated through.

Steps:

• In a medium skillet or frying pan, heat your oil and add onion.
• Once the onion starts to brown on the edges add the garlic.
• Stir with a wooden spoon for a few minutes and add the dry rice to the onions and garlic. Stir rice frequently till the rice takes on a golden-orange color. Be careful not to burn the onions and garlic. If your bulbs look like they are starting to get over done immediately add the canned tomatoes.
• While waiting for the rice to brown get a medium sized cooking pot (must have lid or cover). Open the canned tomatoes and with clean cooking shears cut the tomatoes (in the can) till they are in small pieces.
• Pour the can of cut tomatoes in the pot with 1 can's worth of water.
• Toss in the chicken bouillon and you are now ready for the rice.
• Once your rice has developed a good color, transfer everything from the frying pan to the pot.
• Cover and bring to a hard boil.
• Once boiling reduce heat to a soft simmer for 15-20 minutes.
• After most of the liquid has been absorbed stir the rice and remove from heat.
• Allow rice to steam in the pot for 10-15 minutes. Add the green onion, stir then serve and enjoy.
