Vegetable Rice Pilaf

Today I made a new Fish Friday recipe that I will be sharing with you next Monday when we do our Secret Recipe Club reveal. It is a great recipe, so make sure you come back and take a look.  I made a Vegetable Rice Pilaf to serve with my fish and I am sharing that recipe with you today.  It is a great side dish for any meat and it paired perfectly with our fish.

It is also a great way to up your vegetable intake and use up any veggies that are in your fridge, blanching or sauteeing as needed to make them tender.

Vegetable Rice Pilaf 

1/2 c. broccoli florets, blanched
1/2 c. cauliflower florets, blanched
1 carrot, peeled and diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 small onion, diced
1 clove, garlic minced

1 t. olive oil
