I wanted to make a side for dinner quickly with less dishes so I checked online to see if I could cook rice and frozen vegetables together in the same pot. You can! And it worked! I would serve this to guests! I used what I had on hand, did ASAP prep and used a Enameled Cast Iron pan so my prep was a little different. \n\nI use a method for cooking rice in an Enameled Cast Iron pan that I found on YT (\"..Rice.. Japanese Style\"). You put the uncooked rice and water (1:1, plus extra 1\/2-1 cup water, depending on quantity) in a cold enameled cast iron pan, put on the lid. (Rinsing the rice first is recommended). Start a timer for 15 min. Turn heat on Medium. Once it's boiling (~7 min), quickly turn heat down to simmer (it can bubble over! glass lid is a major advantage). Once 15 min timer goes off, just turn heat off (leave pan on burner, leave lid on pan). Start another timer for 15 min. Once that goes off, rice is done and it's time to fluff\/stir the rice. A little extra work but it's *so* nice to get away from cooking rice in a Teflon coated pan\/pot\/cooker. \n\nSince I can't take the lid off of the rice for the time it's cooking, I just took a chance and put the frozen vegetables (peas & corn, plus a few fresh carrots, chopped) in at the very beginning, with the rice and water. Put in a few tabs of butter, salt (don't be shy), garlic powder, onion powder. It came out *amazing*. I especially liked the carrots. One pot wonder.
