Italian Brown Rice Pilaf
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter or margarine
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 bag frozen Italian Vegetable Blend (cauliflower, carrots, red pepper, lima beans, zucchini and green beans), thawed
- 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 2-3 cup cooked brown rice
Instructions
- Heat olive oil and butter or margarine in a large skillet until butter is melted. Add garlic, veggies and seasonings. Cook for 5 minutes. (Optional – dice the veggies or run a pair of kitchen scissors through the skillet a few times to cut the veggies into smaller pieces.)
- Stir cooked brown rice into the skillet until combined and heated through.
Notes
If you are making this Stolen Moments style, which I did, add a tablespoon or two of water before reheating either on the stove or in the microwave.
Also, you could definitely swap the rice with barley or orzo.
