Recipe
1. Remove the seasoning packet from the rice mix; measure 2 tablespoons and
reserve.

heat to low. Cook 20 minutes.
3. While the rice is cooking, drain the artichoke hearts and chop coarsely.
Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a 9-inch skillet over medium heat. Add
the shallot, garlic and bell pepper; sauté 4 minutes. Stir in the artichoke
hearts, olives and pepper; hold on low heat.
4. When the rice has finished cooking, stir in the artichoke mixture. Cover
the pan and set aside off the heat 5 minutes.
