The ingredients for Amazing Vegetable Rice are:

3 stalks celery, chopped
1 vidalia onion, chopped
2-3 carrots, chopped
2 tbsp butter or margarine
1 tub Knorr Homestyle Vegetable Stock (the gelatin kind in the tubs)
3 cubes beef buillion (or chicken, depending)
1 3/4 cups uncooked Jasmine rice

Spices to taste: I use basil, black pepper, garlic powder, and sea salt. If we are serving it with beef, I also use a dash of Seasoning Salt.

Here is how you make Amazing Vegetable Rice:

In a large frying pan or wok, saute the chopped vegetables in the butter, and add spices to taste. While the vegetables are cooking, boil water in a tea kettle for the bullion. Dissolve the vegetable stock in the pan with the vegetables and butter, and let the cubes soften in 2 cups of the boiled water. Once the cubes have softened, add the water to the frying pan and bring it to a boil, then add the rice and cover the pan so that it will all cook together.This is where the "off the cuff" nature of the recipe comes into play ... I generally stay near the stove and tend to the rice, stirring it every few minutes and seeing how it is coming along. Depending on the type of pan being used, I add another 1 & 1/2 - 2 cups of water to the rice as it cooks so that it will fluff up nice and soft, but I tend to play it by ear and see how it cooks. If there is too much water, don't worry - leave the cover off the pan for a few minutes and it will boil off without losing any of its flavor.Serving Size: Makes approx. 5 servings of 1.5 cups each.Number of Servings: 5Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LAKEDRUID.
