We were always glad to see a big bowl of this festive rice on the table. The carrots, peas and tomatoes make it so pretty. This versatile side dish goes great with any meat or Mexican meal. Jerri Moror, Rio Rancho, New Mexico Ingredients:

2 tablespoons canola oil |
1 small onion, chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/2 teaspoon salt, optional |
1 cup water |
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth |
2 large tomatoes, peeled and chopped |
1/3 cup frozen peas, thawed |
1/3 cup diced cooked carrots |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, saute rice in oil until lightly browned. Add the onion, garlic and salt if desired; cook over low heat until onion is tender.
