- Add the water, bay leaf, tomatoes and salt and bring to a boil.
- Cover and reduce the heat so that the rice just simmers.

Love rice, I follow my mother's recipe, the same as above with these additions: chopped red bell pepper, 1 bay leaf, 1 clove. This makes 3 meals for me. I've also used leftovers to stuff bell peppers.

Hi Eddy my sister in law used make a rice with kale and kidney beans that I loved but I’ve never quite figured how to make??? Do you think anyone would have a recipe like that?? Thanks and thanks for everything you do!🙏🙏
