Ingredients

  • 3 T vegetable oil
  • 1 quart minced yellow onion
  • 1 quart diced carrots
  • 3 cups minced green bell pepper
  • 1 ¾ quart (3 lb.) rinsed brown rice, drained
  • 3 cups cup dried sweetened cranberries
  • 1 gallon low-fat, reduced-sodium chicken broth, heated
  • 1 ¼ cups reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 3 cups frozen peas, thawed
  • 2 cups minced scallions

Directions

  • Stir in rice and cranberries and heat through, about 1 minute, stirring often.

  • Remove pot from heat and let rest at least 15 minutes before serving.
  • Just before serving, gently stir in peas and scallions and keep warm.
