The ingredients for Easy Quick Mexican Rice are:

* *Brown Rice, medium grain, 1 cup
* Carrots, raw, 1 carrot grated coarsely
* Zucchini, 1 cup, grated coarsely
* Olive Oil, 2 tbsp (remove)
* Chicken stock, home-prepared, 2 cup (remove)
* 2 chicken or tomato flavor bouilion cubes
* Onions, 1 small, chopped

Here is how you make Easy Quick Mexican Rice:

Using a skillet, saute the onion in olive oil over medium heat. Add the brown rice and stir until it turns less translucent, about 5 minutes. Add 2-1/2 cups water and stir in the bouilion cubes. Bring to a boil. While you wait for it to boil, add one grated carrot and about 1/2 a large or 1 small grated zucchini. Stir the vegies into the rice. Allow to boil for 1 minute, then cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook until the rice is tender, about 15-20 minutes. Make sure it doesn't boil dry. This can also be made with white rice but brown is healthier & tastier with a nicer consistency. You can add favorite herbs if you like, prior to simmering. Can also be made as a main dish by adding any shredded meat or shrimp; you can put chopped tomato into it also, but that will increase cooking time.Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user COSMOSTICON.
