Instructions: Heat oil in a large saucepan, add onions & green peppers and saute until onion is tender & golden. Add water, rice, tomatoes, salt, pepper & tomato paste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until rice is soft and water is absorbed, adding more water if necessary, about 40 minutes depending on the type of rice (long grain takes longer). Add Kidney beans about 10 minutes before rice is done.

serves 4-6 as a main dish, maybe 8 as a side

Sometimes I dont use the oil & just saute in water, depends on the battle of the bulge.
