Easy Veggie Rice Side Dish

When I serve obviously white rice, my hubby slathers it amongst butter too white saccharide (yuck). To avoid that, I've learned to jazz our rice upwardly a little. This recipe is the number of years of tweaking, too nosotros actually bask it; I similar it because it goes amongst nearly anything, exactly specially skillful amongst baked chicken.

1/2 loving cup diced onion
1/2 loving cup diced celery
1/2 loving cup diced carrot
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 loving cup of raw long grain rice (not instant)
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dark pepper
2 too 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 loving cup of frozen veggies
sliced light-green onion tops for garnish
1 tablespoon butter

Saute the onion, celery too carrot inward the canola petroleum until they foremost to lose their crispness; stir inward rice too seasonings; stir to coat the rice amongst the petroleum too saute gently for a infinitesimal or two. Add the broth too frozen veggies too convey to a boil. When it starts to boil, plough oestrus downward to a depression simmer too position a tight plumbing fixtures lid on the pan. Simmer for twenty minutes. After twenty minutes, plough off the burner too allow it sit down for 5 minutes. Add ane tablespoon of butter & fluff amongst a fork too serve.

NOTE: You noticed I role 2 1/2 cups of broth, that is to a greater extent than than you lot would usually role for obviously rice. I role this extra total of broth to give me a slightly saucy rice.
