Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Rinse the rice
Rinse the basmati rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. Drain the rice and set it aside.
Prepare the vegetables
Dice the red and yellow bell peppers. Peel and dice the carrots. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Sauté the vegetables
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and spices
Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add rice and broth
Add the rinsed basmati rice to the pot and stir to coat the rice with the oil and spices. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Simmer the rice
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Add vegetables
Stir in the diced bell peppers, diced carrots, and frozen peas. Cover the pot and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and heated through.
Fluff and serve
Remove the pot from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
