Rice Pilaf

This is a little rice side dish I made to go with our grilled salmon for supper. It is quick, easy, and convenient, it just bakes in the oven while the rest of your supper cooks. I didn't really get the recipe from anywhere, and it can certainly be adapted to suit your tastes! This is a simple and tasty recipe!

Rice Pilaf
1 small carrot, finely diced
1/2 large onion, chopped
1/4 head cauliflower, finely chopped
1 ripe tomato, peeled and finely diced
2 packets chicken bouillon powder
3/4 cup dry white rice
1 1/2 cups boiling water

Preheat oven to 350◦F. In a casserole dish, mix all ingredients except water. Add water and mix. Bake for 30 minutes. I then had to microwave it for 3 minutes, until all the liquid was absorbed.
Note: If you want to use brown rice, add 1/4 cup more water and allow another 20 minutes or so for baking. Also, feel free to vary the vegetables any way you like!
