Ingredients

2.5 cups uncooked white long-grain rice
3 cups vegetable broth
½ cup peas fresh or frozen
½ cup frozen carrots diced
4 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoon lemon juice freshly-squeeze
3 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
3 teaspoon fresh dill finely chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions

In a large non-stick pan on medium-high heat, add olive oil. Add in the rice and toast rice for 2 minutes.
Add lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, peas and carrots, and vegetable broth. Stir to mix. Bring to a boil.
Once it boils, reduce to medium heat and simmer for 22-30 minutes covered until the rice tastes soft and fluffy and the rice has absorbed all the liquids. Occasionally stir the rice to avoid it from sticking to the base of your pan but don't over do it.
Remove from heat and fluff the rice with a fork. Garnish with chopped dill. Serve and enjoy!
