Easy Vegetable Rice Pilaf

This quick and easy Vegetable Rice Pilaf is a homemade version of the boxed rice variety. My family loves this with dinner!

• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook 3 minutes, until translucent.
2. Add the rice and stir, until the rice is lightly toasted. Add the garlic salt, basil and turmeric to the skillet and stir until evenly combined.
