From member credezio. Makes a great accompaniment to my Spicy Chicken Fajita recipe that is also in the forum.

• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon ground coriander seed
• 1-2 teaspoons hot paprika (only use 2 if you like it really spicy. If you do not
  have hot paprika, just use 2 teaspoons of regular and add an extra pinch of
  cayenne)
• 1 pinch cayenne (ground red pepper)
• 3 green onions, green and white parts, finely sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 2 small tomatoes, diced
• 2-3 tablespoons nsa tomato paste
• 2 cups cooked brown rice
• a few tablespoons water

Place the turmeric, garlic powder, cumin, coriander, paprika, and cayenne into a cold sauté pan. Roast spices for a minute or two on medium heat. Add the green onions and the green peppers; sauté 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and sauté until tomatoes release their juices. Add rice and stir. Add tomato paste and stir until mixed through. Add a few tablespoons of water, a tablespoon at a time if the mixture appears too dry. Continue to heat until rice is heated thoroughly
