Vegetables

Rice Pilaf

Method

Vegetables Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

    Add the chopped vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, red onion, and cherry tomatoes) to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Rice Pilaf Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Onion

    In a medium saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add 0.5 cup of chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Rice

    Stir in 1 cup of long-grain rice and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the rice to lightly toast.

  3. 6

    Add Broth and Simmer

    Pour in 2 cups of vegetable broth and add 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

  4. 7

    Fluff the Rice

    Once cooked, remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
