Directions:
Wash and drain rice.
Put oil in large soup pot and add rice, carrots and onion.
Stir until everything is coated with oil and saute until rice starts to look golden over medium heat.
Remove from heat and add peppers, tomatoes, corn, undrained peas and salt to taste.
Add enough water to pot of rice and vegetables to cover about one inch above rice and stir (onlyonce) to make sure everything is mixed.
Add Annato liquid (SEE KAQIK RECIPE), and bring all to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium simmer and add more water as needed. You know rice is ready when there is hardly enough water and the rice grains look about to 'burst' and are soft to the bite.
