One-Pan Vegetable Rice

Dice the onion, carrot, and bell pepper into small cubes.

Heat oil in a skillet. Sauté the onion briefly, then add the carrot. A minute later, toss in the bell pepper.

Next, add the corn and beans, and sauté for a couple of minutes.

Rinse the rice thoroughly. Add it to the skillet with the vegetables, pour in hot water, and season with salt and a pepper blend. The water volume should be exactly double the amount of rice—use a large cup or bowl to measure the rice first so you get the proportion right.
