Rice Pilaf

This is one Mom created to go with chicken or steak.

2 cups Jasmine rice (preferred) or long grain white rice.
Small handful of parsley and/or cilantro chopped fine
1/2 onion chopped fine
2-4 celery stalks chopped fine
1/4 - 1/2 of a red pepper chopped fine
2-3 green onions chopped fine
2-3 garlic cloves grated or pressed
If using Jasmine rice, use 3 cups water or amount recommended for long grain rice.
1 - 2 Tbsp chicken bouillon
1/4 - 1/2 c. butter

Saute veggies in butter until golden brown, add rice, water and bouillon and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover and simmer for about 20 min.
