heres is my creation of a delicious veggie rice blend :) enjoy! kids LOVE it!

This is an awesome veggie and rice combo that your children will love! and it is super inexpensive!

To begin:
 melt margarine or unsalted butter in a 10in skillet over medium heat!

what you will need:
1 large red bell pepper;coarsely chopped
1 large yellow onion;coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon of dijon mustard
1 large green bell pepper;coarsely chopped
dash of salt and pepper
4tablespoons margarine or unsalted butter
1 packet of Sazo'n Goya unique seasoning blend  (con azafran)
2cups long grain white rice (does not taste the same with brown rice
1cup frozen peas
1cup frozen corn
3 cloves of garlic(or 2 large cloves) minced
dash of hot sauce
1 teaspoon granulated sugar

how to prepare:
In a medium pan pour 4 cups of water and dash of salt , bring to a boil.
stir in rice and Sazo'n seasoning and cook covered simmering for around 25 minutes, or until your water is absorbed and rice is tender!
add in the onion and peppers to the melted 1 tblspoon butter or margarine.
cook until almost completely translucent
stir in the garlic and dijon mustard ( strange i know but trust me it adds the right amount of tang)
cook until the onions have completely cooked through with very little bite left.
add it one more tablespoon of butter with the peas and corn
cook only for a few minutes, we want the veggies to remain slightly crunchy so only cook the corn and peas til softened. Stir in the sugar.
spoon in the mixture to the rice and fluff!! yummy

allow individuals to add hot sauce!


enjoy!
My 2 year old LOVED THIS!!!
and my husband!!!
