A convenient packaged rice mix gives a jump start to this simple side dish from Helen Jacobs of Canton, Michigan. A bright blend of veggies adds color, and the cost - only 52 cents per serving - is easy on your budget. Ingredients:
1 package (6 ounces) long grain and wild rice mix |
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices |
1 cup diced yellow summer squash |
2/3 cup chopped sweet red pepper |
2/3 cup chopped green pepper |
1/4 cup chopped onion |
2 tablespoons canola oil |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, place rice mix, contents of seasoning packet and water as directed on package. Bring to a boil. Add carrots. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
2. Meanwhile, in a skillet, saute squash, peppers and onion in oil until crisp-tender. Stir into rice mixture. Yield: 6 servings.
