4 cups long grain rice
-
8 cups water

1 small onion, minced
-
2 teaspoons salt
-
⅛ teaspoon annatto powder
-
⅛ teaspoon paprika
-
black pepper to taste
-
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
-
1 (4 ounce) jar sliced pimento peppers, for garnish
Directions

Place the rice in a sieve and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. Shake sieve to remove excess water from rice.

Place rice in a large saucepan with a tightly fitting lid and add water. Stir in the onion, salt, annatto powder, paprika, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
