Cook the brown rice in any method you choose. I use a rice cooker and I like to cook the rice with vegetable broth for this recipe.
In a large skillet heat the oil to medium and then add the onion and bell pepper.
Saute until the onion becomes transparent, about 10 minutes.
Add all the other ingredients (except the rice) to the large skillet that has the onion and bell pepper.
Cook for 10 minutes.
Add the rice and heat through.
