Rice & Veggie Pilaf



Having married an Idaho meat-n-potatoes man, the side dishes at our dinner table are usually some sort of potato and/or corn. Exciting right? So I'm always glad when I get the chance to switch things up!

You will need:

-2 cups of rice
-beef broth (substitute for water in rice prep)
-1 medium/large carrot (almost minced)
-1/2 a small/medium yellow onion (almost minced)
-1 tsp salt
-1 tsp garlic powder
-1 tsp savory
-1 tsp chili powder
-1 TBS Teriyaki sauce

Prepare the rice as directed on package but instead of using water, use beef broth. (Example: my box calls for 2 cups water so instead I'll be using 2 cups of broth) While rice is cooking, saute minced carrot and onion with teriyaki sauce and seasonings until caramelized and tender. Once rice is done stir in vegetable mixture. Quick, yummy side dish even a meat-n-potatoes guy can appreciate!

Yield: 4 servings
