- Cook 1 cup brown rice according to package directions in 2 cups water with 1 chicken bouillon cube, 1 bay leaf, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon each of salt, cayenne pepper, paprika, and thyme.
- While rice cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Add 1/2 medium onion (chopped), 1/2 green bell pepper (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 1 bay leaf, and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
