4 tbsp butter
1 lb red potatoes, cut into 1/4” thick slices
3 green onions, chopped fine
½ c finely diced yellow onion, cut as you like
2 carrots, peeled and diced 1/8” thick
3 stalked celery, sliced fine
3 ¾ c water
½ tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 bouillon cubes (or 2 c broth of any kind)
1 ½ c brown rice
1 can (15-19 oz) beans, kidney, pinto, or black
1 c frozen peas (optional)
¼ c grated parmesan (optional)
½ c shredded mozzarella, (optional)
½ c sliced almonds (optional)
1. Melt butter in a large skillet. Sauté potato, onions, and carrots for five minutes, until golden.
2. Add water, salt, pepper, and bouillon, and raise to boiling. Add rice. Keep boiling. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer 35 minutes or until rice and vegetables are tender. Stir once, midway through cooking.
