Veggie Rice

We've had this as a side dish quite a bit lately, and it's super easy to halve/double as needed. I prefer this to a flavored, packaged rice.

For the four of us, I make 2 cups of Minute rice according to pkg directions. I throw a couple of teaspoons of chicken bouillon in for flavor.

Chop veggies to bite sized - I use whatever is in season or throw in what I have left from the week - great way to use the rest of the tomatoes, leftover broccoli, etc. My favorite is a small zucchini, a small summer squash, and a red pepper. But you can use anything.

Sauté veggies in a little olive oil. Add salt, pepper, minced garlic, or whatever spices go with your main dish When the rice is ready, dump it into the frying pan and mix with the veggies.

This makes enough for six side dish sized servings.
