Thanks to someone on one of my other lists I corrected 
the Spanish Rice dish from the other night. She noticed I 
forgot the directions. Yikes.

Here is the corrected recipe for all of you:

   2      small         fresh tomatoes -- chopped
     1/2  cup           green olives -- chopped
                        freshly chopped parsley
   1      cup           grated sharp cheese -- packed
                        Risa's additions to dish (in 
cooking):
   1                    jalapeno pepper -- chopped
   1 3/4  cups          basmati rice
          dash          hot pepper sauce -- **

In a large, heavy saucepan, saute the onions and garlic 
in olive oil with salt until the onions are soft (5-8 
minutes).

Add the raw rice, green peppers, and spices. Saute over 
medium heat another 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add tomato juice. Bring to a boil. Turn the heat way 
down, cover, and let simmer 15 minutes.

Add the tomatoes and the olives. Stir, and cover again. 
Continue simmering until the rice has absorbed all the 
liquid (about 15 minutes more). Remove from heat.

Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and transfer to a 
serving bowl. Garnish with grated cheese and chopped 
parsley, and serve immediately.

NOTES : Risa's notes:

* I used very little cayenne because I added one chopped 
jalapeno to the peppers. Also, I added some hot sauce at 
the end.

** I used Frontera Arbol Sauce but you can use your 
favorite.

I used one jalapeno pepper in the peppers and I didn't 
have raw brown rice so I used the basmati rice. I also 
added some arbol sauce at the table.
