Confetti Rice with Carrot, Celery, and Almonds

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 1/4 cups long-grain rice
• 2 (10.5 ounce) cans beef consomme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup chopped green onions
• 3/4 cup chopped carrots
• 3/4 cup chopped celery
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir rice into butter; cook and stir until the rice is just browned, about 5 minutes. Pour consomme and salt over the rice; bring to a boil. Pour the rice mixture into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.

Bake rice in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Stir green onions, carrots, celery, and almonds through the rice; continue baking until rice is completely tender, about 10 minutes more.
