How to make Christmas rice with red and green pepper:

1. We gather all the ingredients to make the Christmas rice with red and green pepper.

3. Tip: The cooking time depends on the manufacturer’s instructions but is usually approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
4. Cut the spring onion into julienne strips and sauté it in the pan with 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Let it brown for 2 minutes.
5. Cut the red and green peppers into thin strips and add them to the pan along with the chives.
6. We let the vegetables of the rice with peppers cook for 10-12 minutes over low heat so that they are soft and sweet.
7. Add a little salt and ground black pepper.
8. At this time you can add the rice to the vegetables and sauté it all together, or if you prefer, you can make a presentation similar to ours, placing the rice in a circular mold.
9. The rice is pressed so that it does not crumble and we take out the mold.
10. Place the vegetables on top and you have the dish ready.
11. This Christmas rice with red and green peppers can serve as a side dish for roasted ham with honey and mustard. Take advantage!
