Red Rice Pilaf

Put the rice, salt and water into a pot and bring to a boil over a high heat. Turn the heat down to low and cover the pot. Cook for 20 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.

Turn off the heat and add any chopped veggies you want and put the cover back on the pot. (Let the veggies steam on top of the rice while you cook the mushrooms.)

Clean and slice the mushrooms. Put a saute pan over a medium heat and add the oil. Add the mushrooms and saute until the all the liquid they release is cooked off and the mushrooms are browned. Turn off the heat. Add the onion and stir. Add the rice and veggies. Add the pecans and cranberries and stir. Serve immediately.

Use organic ingredients whenever possible.
