Vegetable–Mushroom Pilaf

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1-2 cups of rice
• 1 small can of mushrooms
• 1 carrot
• 1 red pepper
• 1 potato
• 1 onion
• 1 large tomato
• spices (salt, pepper, paprika etc.)
• parsley
• vegetable broth or water
• oil

Directions:

1. Sauté the onion until soften, then add the carrots (sliced or shredded), the red pepper (sliced) and the mushrooms and sauté for a few more minutes. In this time cut the tomato in cubes and add this too. Let simmer for just a few minutes and mix.

2. Pour the vegetable broth in the pot, add the rice and the potato (cut in cubes), season with salt, paprika, pepper or other spices and let simmer like this until the rice is cooked. If you have enough time u can actually use a clay or heavy pot and put it in the oven until it is done, this way it will be more tasty but it takes a lot more time too.

3. When it’s done put in some parsley and let rest for 5 –10 minutes then serve.
