By Nitaj3

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 celery stalks, diced small
• 2 medium bell peppers (any color), diced small
• 1 small yellow onion, diced small
• Coarse salt and ground pepper
• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium pot, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add celery, bell peppers, and onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables soften, 5 minutes. Stir in rice and 1 1/2 cups water; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce to a simmer, and cook until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove pot from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and stir in parsley.
