3 C good chicken broth
1 chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
8 oz. mushrooms, quartered

Heat oil and butter. "Brown" rice at medium-high temperature for 5 minutes. Add broth, onion, garlic, thyme, and pepper. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes. Add green pepper and mushrooms. Cover and cook another 10 minutes. Add oregano and basil. Correct seasoning.
