NIF'S PRETTY BELL PEPPER RICE PILAF
I came up with this tonight, trying to use some of the veggies in my fridge while they were still good! I like to overlap steps to save time so I hope that the instructions make sense! You can use any kind of broth to make the rice or just use water. I also really enjoyed the rosemary but you don't need to add any herbs if you don't want to. The type of rice is also optional. Just make sure that you end up with about 2.5 cups of cooked rice. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Place rice and broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cover with lid, set heat to minimum and cook for 20 minutes. No peaking! If you are using a different kind of rice, just follow the instructions. You want your rice to be cooked, but not mushy!
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan over low-medium heat.
- Cut veggies in the order listed (onion, carrot, garlic and peppers). Add each type of veggie to the pan as they are cut. When they are all added, turn heat to low and let veggies sweat. You want them to be soft but not browned. Add herbs, if using.
- When rice is done, add it to the frying pan. Give it all a stir, taste and add salt and pepper to your liking. Serve immediately as rice will become mushy if you let it sit.
- Top with green onion.
Tips:
- Use a variety of bell peppers. Using a mix of colors will give your pilaf a more vibrant appearance and flavor. Bell peppers come in a variety of colors, including green, yellow, orange, and red. Each color has its own unique flavor profile, so using a mix will create a more complex and interesting dish.
- Choose the right mushrooms. There are many different types of mushrooms that you can use in this recipe, but some of the best choices include cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms. These mushrooms have a meaty texture and a rich flavor that will complement the bell peppers and rice.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When you are cooking the bell peppers and mushrooms, be sure to not overcrowd the pan. If you do, the vegetables will not cook evenly and they will release too much liquid. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
- Use a flavorful broth. The broth that you use to cook the rice will have a big impact on the flavor of the pilaf. Use a broth that is packed with flavor, such as chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth. You can also use a combination of broths.
- Let the pilaf rest before serving. Once the pilaf is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the rice to absorb the liquid. Fluff the pilaf with a fork before serving.
Conclusion:
Bell pepper and mushroom rice pilaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover bell peppers and mushrooms. With its vibrant colors and flavorful ingredients, this pilaf is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
