Source: Lisa Pastor
Makes about 6 servings

1/3 cup olive oil
1.5 cups chopped onion
1 large red bell peppers, chopped
2 TB minced garlic
2 cups parboiled brown rice
3/4 cup tomato sauce
4.5 cups vegetable broth
2 packets Paellero seasoning (I ordered on Amazon-- well worth it!)
salt, pepper, & paprika to taste
1 can (15 oz) garbanzo beans, drained & rinsed
1 cup peas
optional: 1 3/4 cups green beans (I like to steam these and serve as a side)
lemon wedges (optional)

1. Turn large skillet to high heat & add olive oil. Fry onions & bell pepper until softened & fragrant. Add garlic & cook 2-3 minutes more.
2. Add rice & fry 5 minutes (stirring occasionally). Add tomato sauce & stir together to make a tasty paste.
3. Stir in broth, optional green beans, & seasoning packets. Add more seasonings to taste, if needed. Bring to a boil, then cover & simmer 15 minutes(don't stir).
4. Sprinkle garbanzo beans & peas on top; cover & simmer 10-15 minutes more. Sprinkle with lemon juice & enjoy!
