- Cook 1 cup long-grain rice in 2 cups boiling salted water for 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside to cool.

Stir in 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped; 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced; 1 cup frozen corn, thawed; 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced; 1/2 teaspoon salt; and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
