An easy One-Pot Vegan Rice Recipe made with simple ingredients on the stovetop. This dish is prepped and cooked all in one pan in about 30 minutes, making it a great midweek, last-minute dinner.
It is Gluten-free, Vegan, and is one of those super satisfying meals that I look forward to every time I make it.
For this recipe, I am using basmati rice as I love them because of their long grain and aroma. But you can make this with brown or wild rice if you want a healthier version.
