Reduce heat & simmer covered for about 25 min or until rice is a little tender. Add celery, bell pepper squares, carrot, garlic, oregano, basil, celery seed and tomato paste. Continue simmering 20-30 min or until added veggies are tender and rice is completely cooked. Add chili powder, tamari and salt to taste. Simmer 5 min or until flavors are well blended.
