Ingredients

    2 tablespoons of Olive Oil
    2 Cups White Rice
    1 Cup Arborio Rice
    20 Green Beans (sliced)
    3 Carrots (sliced)
    2 Zucchini's (sliced)
    1 Oxo Vegetable, Beef or Chicken Stock Cube (or 1 cup of your preferred stock)
    2 tablespoons of mixed herbs

Tips

Add about 300-500g of diced meat (steak, chicken, sausages work well) if you want to add extra protein. Personally, I tend to add two small chicken breasts diced.

Simply cook the meat separately and add either with the veges or in the last 5 minutes as the water is absorbed.

Substitute veges for whatever is in season.


Directions

Heat olive oil in a frying pan or saucepan. Add the white and arborio rice and cook until lightly browned (approx 3 minutes), stirring occasionally.

Add 3 cups of hot water, sliced vegetables, herbs and stock, then stir.

Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove cover and cook for 5 minutes (until all liquid is absorbed and rice is tender).

Serve.
