Jasmine Wild Rice

Serves 2-4

Ingredients: 

• 1/2 cup of Jasmine rice
• 1 1/3 cup of water
• 2 oz mixed vegetables (I used the Target brand frozen mixed vegetables)
• 2 tsp of Black beans (I used the Target brand of canned black beans)
• 1 medium sized white mushroom (or any type of mushroom would work)
• 1/2 small onion (chopped or diced)
• 1 tsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1/2 tsp basil (season to taste)
• 1/2 tsp cumin (season to taste)
• 1/2 tsp sea salt (season to taste)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper (season to taste)
• 1/2 tsp oregano (season to taste)
• 1/2 tsp garlic (season to taste)

Method:

Pour Jasmine rice into a small pot, add 1 1/3 cups of water and tsp of olive oil. Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Let rice cook on the stove until water is semi dry and rice is tender (make sure it’s not too soft). Once Tender pour onions, mixed vegetables and mushrooms on top. Do not mix. Place the pot into the oven and cook for ten minutes. Next add seasons (season it to taste buds) and finally mix. Put it back into the oven to cook for another ten minutes or until mixed vegetables and rice is fully cooked. Let cool for five minutes and then serve.
