Jade Pearl Rice with Vegetables

I really love the taste of this rice dish. The Rice is a specialty rice and can be purchased at REAL FOODS.

1 Cup Jade Pearl Rice (Lotus Foods)
1/3 Cup finely cut carrots
1/3 Cup finely cut celery
1/4 Cup fresh parsely, chopped
1/4 Cup grapeseed oil (also available at the health food store)
Herbes de Provence
Real Salt
Beau Monde
Pepper

Cook rice in rice cooker according to directions on package. Meanwhile, using a large sautee pan, sautee carrots and celery in grapeseed oil until slightly tender. Add parsley and 1 tsp. Herbes de Provence - cook a few minutes longer. Once rice is done, add rice to the vegetables and mix well. Season to taste with a little Beau Monde and/or Real Salt and pepper. (If it seems too dry, add a little more oil)
