Wild Rice Pilaf

The beauty of this dish is it works with just about any vegetable combination you have in your house. Just choose three vegetables of different bright colors. That way your rice dish not only has incredible flavor, it becomes a powerhouse of nutrients to make your body strong.

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons of Olive oil
1 small Onion, finely chopped
1 heaping cup of chopped vegetables (Pick your favorites!)
For the Pilaf pictured above, I used leftover yellow bell pepper, eggplant, and edamame. You really can't make a wrong choice. Some great suggestions include: carrots, celery, green pepper, and zucchini.
2 teaspoons of minced garlic
2 cups of Vegetable broth (chicken broth can also be used)
2 tablespoons of dried Parsley
1/2 teaspoon of fresh Dill
1 cup of water
2 cups of Wild Rice or Brown Rice Medley (GF)

Directions:
In a large pot, saute your vegetables in olive oil for about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Pour in the vegetable broth and water, add your herbs and rice medley. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow to simmer for 25 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat and allow to stand for 5 minutes.
