Mixed Vegetable Rice

Ingredients 

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup diced onion
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 2 cups uncooked long-grain white or Jasmine rice
• 3½ cups chicken stock
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
• 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley

Instructions

• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion. Cook for about a minute, just until fragrant.
• Add the broth and the rice to the skillet. Increase the heat to high and bring it to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to a low simmer and cover with a lid.
• Cook until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 18 minutes. Taste the rice and season with salt, if desired. Fluff with a fork.
• Add the mixed vegetables and stir to mix throughout. Remove from heat and let stand for a few minutes to thaw and warm the vegetables. Taste the rice again and add more salt, only if needed. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.
