Vegetable Fried Rice

Serves

6 - 8

Ingredients

2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Cloves garlic (minced)
2 Medium onions (peeled and chopped)
1/2 Tsp dried basil
1/2 Tsp dried oregano
1 Large carrot (thinly sliced)
1 cup green or yellow beans (tips off, slice on the diagonal in 1 1/2 inch pieces or may substitute with 2 medium zucchini thinly sliced)
10 Medium-sized cremini mushrooms, sliced (may substitute with white)
2 Medium-sized tomatoes (diced (about 1 cup))
1/2 cup Corn Relish (I like Bick's Corn Relish)
2 1/2 Cups cooked rice (1 1/4 cups of uncooked rice, see recipe for Easy Steamed Rice)
salt and pepper to taste


Saute garlic, onion and herbs in large frying pan over medium heat until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, beans and mushrooms. Stir fry until tender crisp, another 5 - 7 minutes.

Add in the tomatoes, corn relish, cooked rice and salt and pepper to taste. Gently mix the mixture together over medium heat to heat through. Place in a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chopped basil.
