Ingredients:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon ground annatto seed
1 1/2 cups long-grain rice, (preferably not converted)
2 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 bay leaf


Directions:
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan, with a tight-fitting lid, over medium-high heat. Add the onion, pepper, and annatto, and cook, stirring, until somewhat soft, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until toasted, about 2 minutes more. Add water, salt, and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Wrap the lid tightly with a kitchen towel. Cover the rice, lower the heat to a simmer, cook for 20 minutes.

Remove the rice from the heat and set aside, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork.
