Vegetable Rice Pilaf

Vegetable Rice Pilaf

by Pam on September 24, 2012

I wanted to find a rice recipe that was quick and easy.  I adapted this recipe from The Kitchen Witch[1] a little bit because I didn’t have spinach on hand.  It was a nice change from regular rice and I loved that it added veggies to the mix.  My son especially liked this rice and had second helpings.  I served this simple side dish with the Dijon and Panko-Crusted Salmon[2] and they paired perfectly together.

Heat the olive oil in a medium sized sauce pan over medium heat.  Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes.  Add the rice and bouillon granules and cook, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes.  Add the water, sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste and stir.  Cover with a lid and reduce heat to simmer; cook for 20 minutes.  Remove from the heat and let sit for another 5 minutes – don’t remove the lid!

Fluff the rice with a fork, taste and re-season if needed.  Toss in the parsley and mix.  Serve immediately.  Enjoy.
