SIMPLE BAKED RICE

Simple Baked Rice image

Rice infused with garlic and onion baked in chicken stock. A wonderfully simple dish even picky eaters will enjoy. I use homemade stock as it's the most flavorful, but use whatever you have on hand. Another option is adding whatever leftover veggies or meat I have to make a simple casserole without a heavy cream sauce. This recipe uses a rice-to-liquid ratio of 2:1 for long-grain rice.

1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup diced carrot
¼ cup diced celery
¼ cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced

Spread long-grain rice into prepared casserole dish.

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.

I made this up a while back. It is one of my favorite rice dishes. It goes well with any kind of meat. I have also stir fried chicken pieces in for a one bowl meal.
