This is comfort food at its finest. For a little crunch, add some toasted almonds or pine nuts. Serve with Simplest Roast Chicken Ever.
How to Make It
Cook rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.
While rice cooks, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil; swirl to coat. Add onion, celery, and carrot; sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat; stir in parsley and remaining ingredients. Add vegetable mixture to cooked rice; fluff with a fork. Serve immediately.
Tip: Chop all your vegetables and herbs in the morning so when you come home from work, the recipe is a cinch to complete.
