VEGETABLE RICE SIMPLE SIDE DISH

Vegetable Rice Simple Side Dish image

Found in a torn out recipe from a magazine but I don't know which one now. I love the flavors of this side dish and have tweaked it based on what veggie is fresh or in season. In place of the asparagus I have used snow peas or just used more zucchini and carrots if I could not find nice asparagus.
