I like using different vegetables for my rice all the time. It keeps you from getting bored of eating the same things all the time. Different vegetables make a big difference in flavour. Also as I’ve said before I like adding vegetables into my side dishes, then adding more vegetables on the side to ensure I’m getting a lot of vegetables in my meal.

Ingredients:

– 1 carrot

– 2 broccoli stalks

– 1/2 red bell pepper

– 3 mushrooms

– 1 medium onion

-1/2 cup rice (or whatever is 2 servings depending on what rice you use)

– 2 cups chicken broth

– 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Cut up all vegetables into bite size pieces. With a medium size pot on medium heat add onions and mushrooms and cook for about 2 minutes. Then add the rest of the ingredients (except for Parmesan cheese). It won’t look like there’s any rice there, but when it cooks it’ll look like a rice dish. Place lid on pot and turn to high until boiling. Then bring temperature down to low for 30 minutes (or according to the directions depending on what type of rice is used)

Serve as a side with any meat dishes (or add meat directly to the rice once cooked)

Time to make: 35 minutes

Servings: 2-3
