One Pot Wonder: Creamy Rice and Veg

This is a great mid week meal that is so easy to cook, and tastes delicious.

Ingredients:
1 tsp olive oil
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 onion, diced
1 litre of vegetable stock (Cambell's Real Stock is safe)
about 3 cups of diced veg. I used carrot, zucchini and potato
2 handfuls of spinach leaves
1 and a half cups of white long grain rice
1/4 cup of soy or almond milk
2 tbsp nutritional yeast (you can get this from a health food store)
1/2 tsp mustard powder (add more if cooking for adults)
Dash of soy sauce (use kikkoman naturally brewed)
pinch of salt
**If cooking for adults add a generous amount of salt and pepper.

Method:
In a heavy saucepan or pot sauté the garlic and onion in the olive oil for a minute or two. Add all the other ingredients and bring to the boil, stirring regularly. Continue stirring, lower the heat, and simmer, uncovered for about 20 minutes, until the vegetables are cooked.

Take off the heat just before the rice is cooked, and cover and allow to sit for about 5 minutes - the rice should finish cooking during that time.

If your dish is too dry, stir through some extra milk.
