Vegetable Rice Pilaf

Okay, well this isn't rocket science and it's nothing fancy, but it was a yummy way to make rice a bit tastier and more full of veggies!

1 cup organic brown rice
1-1.5 cup organic chicken stock (vegetable stock would also work)
3-4 large carrots, diced
2 stalks organic celery, diced
1/2 lb mushrooms, diced (I used a mixture of portabello and cremini but you could use any)
1/2 zucchini, diced
1-2 Tbsp. organic butter
Sea Salt, Pepper, Garlic (whatever seasons you want)

1. Saute' vegetables and seasonings on medium heat in the butter until softened (maybe 10 minutes or so).
2. Add the chicken stock and rice and bring to a boil.
3. Stir carefully and reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until done!

We did this as a side dish with a roasted Chicken and even more steamed vegetables-it was yummy and filling!
