Royal Rice Dish - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups uncooked long-grain rice, not instant
1 small onion, chopped fine
1 cup margarine or 1 cup butter
1 green pepper, chopped fine
2 (8 ounce) cans beef consomme
2 beef bouillon cubes
1 (8 ounce) can hot water
1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
1/8 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
salt, if needed

Preparation

Saute rice and onion in butter until rice is golden brown.
Add rest of ingredients and bring to a boil, with the exception of salt, since it's suggested to add it to taste when rice is done.
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer over lowest heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender and liquid absorbed.
