Vegetable Fried Rice "Latino Style"

I love this "latino style" vegetable fried rice. The beautiful colors of this recipe invite me to eat it all! It's so easy to cook and all the mixed vegetables, plus the other ingredients give so much flavor to this latin recipe. It's delicious!

Ingredients:

4 cups uncooked rice
6 cups water
6 tablespoons butter or margarine (you can use light butter or margarine substitute)
1 cup minced white onions
1 cup corn kernels (I use canned sweet corn)
1/2 cup minced green bell pepper
1/2 cup minced red bell pepper
3 chicken flavor bouillon cubes (Maggi or Knorr, in the hispanic section of your supermarket)
1 cup chopped leek
1 tablespoon butter or margarine (I use the light butter substitute for a healthier recipe)

Directions:
In medium heat sautee the onions and the uncooked rice together with the butter for 2 to 3 minutes. Melt the chicken flavor bouillon cubes in 6 cups hot water and add this liquid to the rice and onions. Add the corn kernels and the bell peppers and stir. Let it dry a bit, stir and cover. Cook on low heat for 20 minutes.

Stir the rice and turn off the heat. Before serving, add 1 tablespoon butter or margarine and the chopped leek. Mix everything well and your vegetable fried rice is ready to eat.
