Makes 10 servings

Ingredients:

T olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
2 large red bell peppers, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes, with liquid
8 cups vegetable broth or stock
1/4 tsp pepper
1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 cup uncooked quick brown rice
2/3 cup extra crunchy natural peanut butter

Heat oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Cook onions and bell peppers until lightly browned and tender, stirring in garlic when almost done to prevent burning. Stir in tomatoes, vegetable stock, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Stir in rice, cover, and simmer another 15 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in peanut butter until well blended, and serve.
