Baked Brown Rice

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 2 cups brown rice
• 2 cups boullion (any flavor)
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup dried tomatoes
• 1/4 cup onion
• 1/4 cup bell pepper (julliene strips)
• 1/2 cup sliced ripe olives

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In casserole dish (I prefer glass) place 2 cups brown rice, 2 cups boullion (any flavor), 1 cup water, 1 cup dried tomatoes, 1/4 c. ea. onion and bell pepper (julliene strips). I like to add about 1/2 cup sliced ripe olives. Cover and bake for about 1 hour - until rice is cooked.

I came up with this out of desparation. Trying to prepare a meal for unexpected company with an empty pantry. It was an instant hit! Hope you like it.
