  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped green bell pepper and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 5 minutes).

  3. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of long-grain white rice.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet tightly, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
