Carrot Seasoned Rice

Sent by Lorna Whittier, Thu, 28 Mar 2002

Ingredients:

• 3 cups brown rice

• 1 or 2 carrots shredded or finely diced

• 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil

• Onion

• Garlic

• Tomatoes

• Seasonings

Directions:
*Sautee the onion, tomatoes and garlic in the oil.  Add carrots.  Add seasonings of your choice to flavor.

*When carrots have been cooked (about 5 minutes) add enough water to cook 3 cups of rice.  When water is boiling, add rice, let it start to boil again and then turn the stove down to med low and let it steam.

* The children love it and always ask for more, and they are eating their carrots. Other vegetables (i.e. broccoli, green peas, etc.) can also be added, or substituted, for variety.

This is an approximate recipe for the veggie chicken pot pies I made last week end. They take quite a bit of work but if you make a double amount they freeze really well.--
