QUICK ONE POT VEGETABLE RICE

Steps:

• If using basmati or Asian rice it's best to wash and soak for 30 mins before cooking. Drain and set aside. Pro tip - soaking the rice makes for even cooking as well as makes it light and fluffy.
• In a skillet, saute' onions, garlic, and ginger in oil for about 2 minutes until translucent.Pro tip - Use a wide skillet for cooking rice to ensure even cooking.
• Add cinnamon, bay leaves, carrots, peas, and green beans - saute a minute more.Pro tip - we want the veggies to coat with the oil. If using frozen veggies do not cook for too long.
• Next, add the rice and cook on medium heat for two minutes so the rice is well coated with the oil.Pro tip- sauteing the rice will coat every grain with oil and lightly toast it. This makes very fluffy rice.
• Add stock, fresh herbs - and stir well. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a low simmer and cover with a lid.
• Cook on low for 15 minutes undisturbed. After 15 minutes - switch the heat off and let the rice rest for 10 minutes.Pro tip - the rice will continue to cook in the residue heat making it just right.
• When ready to serve - fluff the rice with a fork. Garnish with more fresh herbs. I like to serve it on its own with raita (recipe below) or along with the main course.
