    1 cup dry converted rice
    chicken broth
    1/2 cup onion, diced
    1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
    1/2 cup poblano pepper, diced
    1 tablespoon olive oil

    1 tablespoon capers, drained
    salt, to taste
    fresh ground black pepper, to taste
    crushed red pepper flakes (if that extra zing is needed)
Preparation
    Cook rice according to package directions, but substitute broth for the water.
    Saute onion, bell pepper, and poblano in oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat.(If you choose you can spray the skillet with non-stick spray and add broth to saute the vegetables.).
    Cook until soft, about 3 minutes, then add garlic and paprika.
    Saute an additional minute & remove from heat.
    Stir in rice and remaining ingredients.
    Enjoy!
