Vegetable Rice Recipe


Here is another recipe for ya...

Vegetable rice

2c Instant White Rice
1/2c of water or chicken broth (any kind of broth will do, so vegetarians, go for the vege broth!)
2 Carrots
1 Head of Broccoli (About 1 or 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 bell pepper (doesn't matter what color pepper)
1/2c Parmesan Cheese
3Tbsp of Ranch Dressing

Pour rice into a microwave safe bowl and add the broth or water just until it covers the rice. Microwave for about 2 minutes. Let rice sit until other ingredients are done so that the rice has time to absorb all the broth and cook all the way through.
Add carrots, broccoli, and bell pepper to a food processor and grind until a chunky consistency.
Add mixture to rice. Add Parmesan cheese, ranch dressing and salt & pepper to taste.

This makes a fresh rice that is low calorie and tasty. Hope you like it!
