6. Mexican Rice

Turn this dish into a heartier meal by serving over chicken or pork, or keep it vegetarian and serve as a side or easy lunch.

Fry long-grain white rice with olive oil in a large pot and add onion, carrot and garlic over higher heat until the onion softens. Stir in chicken stock, tomato sauce and green beans, peas or corn and simmer until the rice is tender and the veggies are warm.
