Quick Veggie Rice

Fast and tasty recipe, specially handy to have for those occasions when you are short on time. It goes well with chicken, beef and vegetarian patties alike. 

Sometimes the need teaches you. That was exactly how this recipe came to life. I was finishing up my cooking one day when suddenly I realized I had not made the "Stir and Fry Rice" I had intended to make.  There I was, with not enough time to do that, so I thought, cooking rice and veggies together should work. Added some seasoning and spices and 20 minutes later I had a nice rice dish to serve...

Enjoy!
