Ultimate Veggie Fried Rice

Vegetarian Times Issue: September 1, 2009   p.64

"If there were one recipe from the book I would want to get people to cook, it would be this fried brown rice," Kent says. "It transforms leftover brown rice into a side dish you would be proud to serve anyone." Add leftover cooked vegetables, an egg, or some beans, and you have a wonderful one-bowl meal. Recipe adapted from Tassajara Dinners & Desserts by Dale and Melissa Kent.

Directions

1. Heat skillet over medium-high heat, and add oil. Sauté onion, carrot, celery, herbes de Provence, and salt 10 to 15 minutes, or until well browned. Add a little more oil if pan seems dry. Add rice, and stir-fry 5 minutes, or until mixture is hot and well combined.

2. Rice is now ready to be served, but if you have some time before your meal, turn heat to low, add a little more oil to pan, and let rice sit undisturbed 7 to 10 minutes, or until browned. If it begins to stick, scrape it up, stir tasty brown bits in, and continue browning with a little more oil. The more time and energy you spend at this stage, the tastier the rice will be. If using leftovers, add them just before serving and continue to heat thoroughly.

My husband, a new vegetarian, loves this recipe. I do add an egg with the onion to give us more protein. Yummy.

I used squash and potato for the extra veggies, and threw in about 1/4 cup diced toasted almonds for crunch - it was a real hit!

So, so , so good :) - I added orange bell pepper instead of carrot and also a handful of frozen corn and a dash of soy sauce and an egg. Will become a staple :)
