Vegetable Rice Pilaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
4 carrots, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup long-grain rice
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup green beans, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (You may use frozen green beans, they are cut just the right size.)

Preparation

In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat.
Cook the onion, carrots, thyme, and salt, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the rice, stirring to coat; pour in the broth and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Add the green beans and cook, covered, until the rice is tender and the beans are tender-crisp, 5 to 7 minutes.
Fluff with a fork.
