1 onion, chopped (Can substitude one or two bunches of green onions)

Heat iron in a large pan such as a cast iron chicken fryer or skillet. Add dry rice and cook on medium heat until rice appears chalky and a little brown (tan). Do not get too brown or it will become bitter.
Add onions and bell peppers and sautee for 1-2 minutes. Onions do not have to become clear. Add undiluted tomato puree and one can of water.
Add minced garlic and salt. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally to keep from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Add more water or tomato puree as necessary to keep moist. Cook until tender.
