Ingredients:
| 2 tablespoons | butter |
| 1 1/2 cup | long-grain white rice |
| 1 | onion, chopped |
| 1 | green pepper, chopped |
| 1 -28 ounce | can diced tomato |
| 1-4 ounce | jar diced pimiento |
| pinch salt | |
| pinch cayenne | |
| dash | hot sauce |
Directions:
Melt the butter in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the rice, onion and green pepper, and saute until the rice is slightly browned and the vegetables are softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, pimiento, salt, cayenne and hot sauce. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes, then fluff with a fork. If the rice is tender but too soupy, cook uncovered for another 5 minutes. If the rice is dry but not yet tender, add 1/2 cup water, cover and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until the rice is done.
