Equipment

  • large sauce pot
  • cutting board

Ingredients

  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 cup white mushrooms
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 cups long grain rice, uncooked
  • salt

Instructions

  • Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold, running water.
    2 cups long grain rice, uncooked
  • Fill a large pot with water, bring to a boil and add the rice.  You should use a ratio of 6:1 water to rice (so here you would use 12 cups of water for the 2 cups of rice). Cook according to packaging instructions.  Check the rice for doneness.  When it is done, drain the rice (bye bye arsenic).  Set aside.
  • Meanwhile finely chop the onion, carrot, red pepper and mushrooms. 
    1 medium yellow onion, 1 carrot, 1 red pepper, 1 cup white mushrooms
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot (one that will be large enough to accommodate the rice and the vegetables) and sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. 
    1/3 cup olive oil
  • Add the carrot and mushrooms and cook for another 3 – 5 minutes.  Finally, add the red pepper and cook for about 2 – 3 minutes.
  • Add the cooked rice to the pot of vegetables. Mix well, add salt to taste and serve.
  • Enjoy!
