Delicious, fluffy and loaded with vegetables! Goes great as a side with lots of meals, or served simply with black beans.

1 white onion, chopped
1/2 bell pepper, diced
2 large or 3 small jalapenos, seeded and diced

1 cup long-grain brown rice, rinsed
2 cups water
1 large or 2 small bouillon cubes
8 cracks black pepper
