Get out freeze-dried peppers, freeze-dried onions, beef broth, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and garlic.

Start cooking the rice: boil 4 cups of water and add 2 cups of multi-grain rice, then reduce heat to simmer.

Rehydrate the freeze-dried peppers and onions in hot water, using enough to cover them completely.

Measure out 4 cups of freeze-dried peppers and 2 small yellow onions (or about 1 cup) for a double batch.

Pour hot water over the peppers and onions to rehydrate them, and time how long it takes for them to soften.

After 5 minutes, check the rehydrated peppers and onions; they should smell fresh and be slightly mushy.

Heat olive oil in a pan and add the rehydrated onions, frying them to caramelize.

Drain the rehydrated peppers and add them to the pan with the onions.

Stir the rice occasionally to prevent it from boiling over.
