Name: Go-To Rice Pilaf
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon Smart Balance butter spread; ⅔ cup broccoli, chopped (make it tiny); ⅓ cup frozen peas; ⅓ cup frozen corn (you can also use frozen mixed veggies for peas and corn); ⅓ cup red bell pepper, chopped fine; ⅓ cup mushroom, chopped; 3 tablespoons green onions, white parts only; 2 cups cooked brown rice; 34-1 tablespoon soy sauce (I use Bragg's Liquid Aminos here, make it to taste); 1 tablespoon water; ⅛ teaspoon salt; 1 dash garlic powder, to taste (optional)

Servings: persons

1 tablespoon Smart Balance butter spread
⅔ cup broccoli, chopped (make it tiny)
⅓ cup frozen peas
⅓ cup frozen corn (you can also use frozen mixed veggies for peas and corn)
⅓ cup red bell pepper, chopped fine
⅓ cup mushroom, chopped
3 tablespoons green onions, white parts only
2 cups cooked brown rice
34-1 tablespoon soy sauce (I use Bragg's Liquid Aminos here, make it to taste)
1 tablespoon water
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 dash garlic powder, to taste (optional)

1
Place Smart Balance in a large skillet and melt over medium-high heat.
2
Add the broccoli, corn, red pepper, mushrooms, and green onions.
3
Cover and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
4
Add the rice, soy sauce, water, salt, and optional garlic powder to the skillet and cook uncovered just long enough to heat through.
5
Add more water or some broth if the mixture seems too dry.
6
FYI--the original recipe calls for 2 T vegetable or chicken broth instead of the soy sauce/water combo, but I rarely have a spare 2 T broth laying around so I started using Bragg's instead.
