Vegetable Rice Pilaf (serves 8)

5 Tbsp. vegan margarine

2 onions chopped
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. grated or minced fresh ginger root
4 cups diced mixed veg. (potatoes, peas, carrots, peppers, green beans, zucchini, whatever)
2 1/2 cups raw rice
1 tsp. turmeric
4 cups water
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup raisins

Melt the margarine, cook the onions in it, add the cinnamon and the ginger, stir then add all the other vegetables, rice and turmeric.

Cook this over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add the water and the salt and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down very low, cover the pot and cook for 20-25 minutes, til all the water is absorbed.

Fluff with a fork, add the raisins, can be baked in a casserole for 20 minutes before serving.
