A vibrant and flavorful rice dish inspired by Spanish cuisine, perfect as a side or main course.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown; it should just melt and become fragrant.
Add the diced onion and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from burning.
Stir in the rice, coating it evenly with the butter.
Toasting the rice enhances its flavor.
Pour in the tomato juice, water, bouillon cube, chili powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Ensure the bouillon cube dissolves completely for even seasoning.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Do not lift the lid during cooking to retain steam.
Remove the saucepan from heat, quickly add the diced tomatoes and bell peppers, and cover again.
Adding the vegetables at this stage keeps them slightly crisp.
Let the rice steam for an additional 10 minutes off the heat.
This step allows the flavors to meld and the rice to finish cooking.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve warm.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added color and flavor.
