Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. Add Garlic and Vegetables

Stir in the minced garlic, diced bell pepper, carrot, and green beans. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

3. Incorporate Rice

Add the long-grain rice to the pot and stir well to combine with the vegetables.

4. Add Broth and Seasoning

Pour in the vegetable broth, add the diced tomato, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

5. Cook the Rice

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

6. Finish the Dish

Remove from heat, fluff the rice with a fork, and stir in the chopped scallions and lime juice. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

7. Serve

Serve hot as a side dish or a main course.
