Cheers from Rayna from New Zealand! Here's one of my favorite rice dishes - I've had great success with this one for years! Easy to make and always a big hit. An excellent way to cook rice. It's one that never goes wrong.

Cook one cup of regular milled white rice in two cups of water, flavored with 3 chicken bouillon cubes and 1 tsp of salt. Heat 1/4 cup butter or margarine in a skillet.

Add the cooked rice, 1/2 cup sliced green onions, and a 1/2 cup diced green pepper. Saute until vegetables are tender crisp.

Fork toss with 3 Tbsps of diced pimento and 1/2 cup sliced pitted ripe olives. I like to use black olives. Attractive presentation and very colorful with saffron colored rice, Green pepper, Black olives and Red pimento. Makes 6 servings. I also use a few more black olives than what the recipe calls for, but do it to your taste.

Note; When using a rice other than regular milled rice, follow the directions on the package using chicken broth instead of water, or by using 3 bouillon cubes as stated in the recipe.
