- Before starting, lightly oil the grill. While you prep, preheat the grill to medium-high (approx. 500°F).
- Wash and dry all produce.
- To a medium pot, add 1 cup (2 cups) water, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- To the boiling water, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 12-15 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into quarters.
- Peel, then cut onion into ½-inch rounds (keeping rings together).
