Rice with Roasted Red Peppers, Black Olives & Feta

Naturally Savvy Recipes

Charbroil the peppers – Position the rack so that the pan will be 6 inches from the heat. Preheat the broiler to high.

Place the pepper on a pan and broil, turning frequently (every 2 to 3 minutes), about 10 to 15 minutes or until charred on all sides.

Transfer the peppers to a paper or plastic bag or wrap in plastic wrap. Let stand until cool to touch.

Halve the pepper, core, seed, peel, and chop (into raisin size pieces).

Meanwhile steam the rice in an appropriate amount of liquid for the cooker: yield about 3 cups.
