Rice Pilaf w/ Sweet Peppers

Ingredients

2 cups uncooked rice
2-3 small sweet peppers
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1/3 small onion, minced < Moar!!!
4 cloves garlic, also minced < Really 4 needed?
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 tablespoons red wine <Go crazy!!! Add moar!
2 cans chicken broth (1 can if rice is instant)
Plenty of olive oil

Instructions

Heat skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Start minced sweet peppers, onions, ginger and garlic on medium heat. After two minutes, add uncooked rice. Add enough olive oil to evely coat rice lightly: each grain of rice should be lightly coated in oil to prevent stickiness. Stir together well.

Add wine, allow rice time to absorb.

Add chicken broth, stirring in. Add dried basil, cover and reduce heat. Let simmer for ~ten minutes or until 98% of liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat. Ready to serve when all liquid is absorbed.

A little conservative no? I would make some amendments,...

Well, in all honesty, I usually use at least half an onion and nearly a quarter-cup of wine.

Also, yes, that much garlic is a definite requirement! It's good for you!

I LOVE garlic! I seriously don't think I could live without the stuff.

You're fired! And my hair is ridiculous and so is my show!

I love garlic. Does the alcohol in the wine cook off or whatever (like it does in beer bread)?
