There are so many ways to prepare rice you could have it every week and never realize it. This is a very simple, healthy dish with lots of color and flavor. You could prepare your own fresh vegetables instead of using frozen. But frozen vegetables maintain their nutrients, flavor and texture very well.
Ingredients:
2 cups basmati rice
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon EV olive oil
1 package small diced frozen mixed vegetables
Instructions:
In medium saucepan, heat the oil. Add the rice and toast until slightly golden. Add the broth and bring to a boil; cook for 10 minutes.
Stir vegetables and salt and pepper into the partially cooked rice. Cook over low heat, shaking pan occasionally, until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Let stand, covered, off the heat for 10 minutes, then serve.
