Easy Spanish Rice

Description
I have used both long grain brown rice and long grain Uncle Ben's converted rice (preferred by daughter) - both are good. I frequently double the recipe and dump in the whole can of green chilies (10 oz).

Ingredients

 * 1 chopped onion
 * 1 chopped green pepper
 * 1 cup uncooked rice
 * ½ cup canned tomatoes with green chilies (i use the diced Ro*tel brand)
 * ¼ tbsp ground turmeric
 * 1 tbsp ground cumin
 * salt (orginal recipe calls for ½ tsp salt - i do not add salt)
 * 1¾ cup water (original recipe calls for 2 cups - i like my rice drier)

Directions

 * 1) Saute Onion & green pepper in water until tender.
 * 2) Add remaining ingredients to onion/green pepper, bring to boil - reduce heat and simmer till rice is done (time will vary according to kind of rice used)
