Dirty Spanish Rice

I had some leftover beef TVP and started playing, with great results (pats self on back). Many of the measurements here are pretty loose… tinker with it according to your own taste.

Ingredients:

1/2-1 cup beef TVP, reconstituted
1/2 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/4 cup green chilis, chopped
3/4 cup rice
1 1/2 cup water
2 chicken bullion cubes
1 small tomato, chopped
herbs/spices: cumin, chili powder, paprika, pepper, bay leaf, oregano, hot sauce

Instructions:

Saute the TVP, onion, garlic and green chilis in a little olive oil until the onions start to turn translucent. Add the
rice and stir so the rice soaks up some of the flavored oil. Add the rest of the ingredients, bring to a boil, then turn
down to a simmer, cover, and let cook until all the liquid is absorbed, stirring once or twice as it cooks.

A note on the herbs/spices: Do these to taste. Recommended-ish: 1/2 T cumin, 1/2 T chili powder, 1/2 t paprika, dash of
pepper, 1 bay leaf, 1/2 t oregano, dash of hot sauce
