Rice Pilaf

Rice pilaf is a simple dish, but perfectly wonderful with a vast array options and varieties. The Boy asked tonight, "Is there anymore of that rice stuff? It was really good." High praise from a teenager.

Here's my praise-awarding version.

Rice Pilaf
INGREDIENTS


1 T olive oil
1 diced carrot
1/4 large onion, diced
1 cup chicken broth
3 cups leftover cooked brown rice
2 green onions, diced
1 small tomato, diced
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a dish pan. Add carrots and onion. Try to dice both to the same size so they cook equally. Season with salt and pepper. The salt helps the vegetables to release some of their liquid. Cook until softened.

Pour chicken broth into the skillet. Scrap the sides and bottom so all the bites loosen. Add rice and heat thoroughly. Turn off heat and add green onions and tomatoes. Stir in. Add salt and pepper to taste.
