Servings: persons

2 cups long grain rice
1 1/2 cups water
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
2 garlic cloves or 2 minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup vinaigrette
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup diced yellow pepper
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1 cup diced red onion
1 cup grape tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh basil, slivered

1
Rinse the rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. Drain thoroughly.
2
Place the rice, chicken broth and water in a heavy saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring gently to keep the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
3
When the water is boiling rapidly, stop stirring, cover the pan with the lid and turn the heat down to low. Let cook, without lifting the lid, for 20 minutes.
4
Remove from the heat, lift the lid to release the steam, and replace it immediately. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes and serve.
5
Meanwhile, crush the garlic with the salt making a rough paste. Add the garlic paste to the vinaigrette and let stand for at least 15 minutes to combine flavors.
6
Add the vinaigrette to the cooled rice and toss with the vegetables.
