Virginia Wine Fair Jamaican Rice

1. 1

   Make the Minute Rice as directed.

2. 2

   I have tried making this with rice from scratch, and it just doesn't have that same fluffy quality that the rice is supposed to have.

3. 3

   In nonstick skillet, heat tablespoon olive oil.

4. 4

   Cook onions with pinch of salt on low heat until translucent.

5. 5

   Take out onions.

6. 6

   In already hot pan, add bacon.

7. 7

   (If you use tofu or turkey bacon add a splash more oil to the pan, as they stick badly due to low fat content.)

8. 8

   After bacon is cooked, drain and crumble.

9. 9

   When rice is cooked, in a large bowll, combine: 2 seasoning packets, peas (heat from rice will thaw them), cooked bacon, and onions.

10. 10

    You can make this a day ahead if desired.

11. 11

    Only add the slices of cabbage right before serving, as otherwise cabbage becomes slimy and loses crunc.
