OVEN BAKED RICE WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a pan set over a medium heat, melt the butter, and add the mushrooms and chopped garlic.
• Cook for 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms release their liquid and become golden.
• Remove them from the pan, and set aside.
• In the same pan, add the oil, chopped onion and half a teaspoon of salt, and fry until the onions are golden.
• Add the grated carrots, chopped peppers, and cooked mushrooms.
• Rinse the rice until the water runs clear, then add it to the pan of vegetables.
• Pour over the stock, give it a good stir, and transfer everything to an oven-proof dish and place the lid on.
• Bake in the preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit) for 35 minutes or until the liquid is completely absorbed, and the rice is cooked through.
• Use a fork to fluff the rice up, then garnish with spring onions.

EASY VEGETABLE RICE MEDLEY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet.
• Add onion, carrot, celery, and red pepper; cook 5 minutes or until tender.
• Add broth; bring to a boil.
• Stir in rice and peas; cover.
• Simmer 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
• ****To save time, replace all the veggies with 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables or frozen broccoli florets and add them when you would have added the peas.

VEGETABLE FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat and then swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil. When the oil begins to smoke, add the egg and swirl the skillet to make a flat egg pancake that's only half set, about 10 seconds; scoop onto a plate.
• Add the remaining tablespoon oil, then add the spinach, broccoli, bell pepper, carrots, snow peas, garlic, ginger, soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
• Add the rice, stirring to break up any clumps, and spread it out in the skillet. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Return the egg to the skillet and cook, stirring and breaking up the egg, to mix it in thoroughly, about 1 minute. Season with additional salt if needed. Stir in the sesame oil and serve.

VEGETABLE RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or other heavy 3-quart pot over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, red pepper and onion and cook stirring, until the vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes.
• Add the rice and the salt and stir to coat the rice with oil. When the rice starts to look "chalky," pour enough water into the pan to cover the rice by 1-inch. Raise the heat to high, bring the water to a boil, and boil until the level of the water meets the level of the rice.
• Reduce the heat to very low, give the rice a very thorough stir, and cover the pot. Cook until the rice is tender but with a little bite, about 20 minutes. Do not uncover the pot or stir the rice while it cooks. Fluff with a fork before serving. Stir in the scallions and transfer to a serving bowl.

BASMATI PILAFF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to fan 160C/conventional 180C/gas 4. You will need a medium casserole with a lid. Rinse the rice well in a large bowl of water, then drain.
• Melt two-thirds of the butter in the casserole and sauté the onion for about 5 minutes. Add the rice, stir well, then add the herbs, whole spices and lemon zest and cook for a minute. Now pour in the boiling stock or water and mix into the rice, along with 1½ tsp sea salt and ground black pepper to taste.
• Cover and bake for 25 minutes. Leave to stand for 5 minutes, then remove the lid and fork through the remaining butter until the rice is fluffy and separated.

VEG & CHEESY RICE BAKE

Steps:

• Sweat the onion in the oil for 10 mins, until soft and lightly golden. Add the courgettes and aubergine. Fry until golden brown. Add the tomatoes and some seasoning, then cover and simmer for 30 mins, uncovering for the final 15 mins if using fresh tomatoes. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Meanwhile, cook the rice in a large pot of salted boiling water for 20 mins, or until tender. Drain and mix with the eggs and two-thirds of the cheese.
• Put the courgette and tomato mix in an ovenproof dish. Spoon the rice mixture over and smooth it out. Sprinkle over the rest of the cheese. Bake for 30 mins until bubbling and golden.

BAKED "FRIED" RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

• Combine chicken broth, soy sauce, and chile paste in a pot over high heat. Stir and bring to a boil. Pour on top of the rice and stir briefly. Cover top tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 32 minutes. Remove and let stand for 10 minutes. Uncover; fluff rice with a fork. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Increase oven temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Return to the oven until rice is browned and crusted, about 10 minutes.
