17. Spanish Rice?

Looked in the fridge and cupboards to se what I could make for dinner and this is what I came up with:

1 green pepper-finely chopped
1 large onion-finely chopped
4 cups of long grain rice
2 cans of whole tomatoes
5 cups of tomato juice plus the liquid from the 2 cans of whole tomatoes ( I got 1 cup of liquid from the 2 cans for a total of 6 cups))

I first sauteed the onion and green pepper and set that aside in a bowl.

I cooked the rice in the tomato juice and liquid from the cans of whole tomato.

While the rice was cooking, I emptied the cans of whole tomatoes into the bowl with the onion and green pepper and cut up the tomatoes with a pair of scissors.

When the rice was nearly done, I emptied the bowl of onion, green pepper and chopped up tomatoes into the pot with the rice and continued to cook til the rice was done. I then added pepper and stirred.

It's actually quite good.
