Go-To Rice Pilaf
- 1 tablespoon Smart Balance butter spread
- 23 cup broccoli, chopped (make it tiny)
- 13 cup frozen peas
- 13 cup frozen corn (you can also use frozen mixed veggies for peas and corn)
- 13 cup red bell pepper, chopped fine
- 13 cup mushroom, chopped
- 3 tablespoons green onions, white parts only
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 34-1 tablespoon soy sauce (I use Bragg's Liquid Aminos here, make it to taste)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 18 teaspoon salt
- 1 dash garlic powder, to taste (optional)
- Place Smart Balance in a large skillet and melt over medium-high heat.
- Add the broccoli, corn, red pepper, mushrooms, and green onions.
- Cover and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the rice, soy sauce, water, salt, and optional garlic powder to the skillet and cook uncovered just long enough to heat through.
- Add more water or some broth if the mixture seems too dry.
- FYI--the original recipe calls for 2 T vegetable or chicken broth instead of the soy sauce/water combo, but I rarely have a spare 2 T broth laying around so I started using Bragg's instead.
- Feel free to experiment!
