O2 Living's "Risotto" Style Brown Rice promises to deliver a tasty, healthy treat.

Recipe:
- In a medium pot bring vegetable stock to a simmer.
- In another medium pot sweat the onion for 1-2 minutes over medium heat in the oil with no color.
- Add the short grain brown rice and coat with the oil. Slight nutty aroma should be emitted. Add the bay leaf and 1 cup at a time of the vegetable stock. Stir constantly. Add cups of stock to the rice as the previous get absorbed. This process should take 12-15 minutes over medium to low heat.
- When you add the final cup of stock add the chopped veggies, remove the bay leaf and add the carrot juice.
- Once the liquids are absorbed your "risotto " should be finished.
- Top with micro celery and sprouts.
