Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
  2. Stir in the tomatoes, chilies, and 1 1/4 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring once halfway through, until all the water is absorbed, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

    Turnips

    Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
