New Orleans Red Rice

I am a busy person, just like everyone else.. I like my food delicious, healthy, ready in under 30 mins, Gluten Free, and preferably requiring few dishes and tools ( i loathe washing dishes!) I also feed a fiance who is not G-free and I don't want him to miss the gluten in his meals. This recipe pleases everyone! Its quick, easy, inexpensive and delicious!
