INSTRUCTIONS
Combine rice, 1 cups water, and a pinch of salt in small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until water is absorbed and grains are tender, 15 to 18 minutes.
Set oven to broil on high. Combine peppers, 1 tsp vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to baking sheet and toss. Broil until peppers are charred in places, 5 to 7 minutes.
