Rice with vegetables for the winter

Prepare all the ingredients. Soak the rice in cold water for 2 hours beforehand.

Peel the onion and carrot, then cut them into small cubes.

Cut the tomatoes into small cubes as well.

Put the vegetables in the pot.

Add vegetable oil, sugar, salt.

Sauté the vegetables for 5 minutes, then add rice (without liquid) and simmer until the rice is cooked — 20–30 minutes.

Sterilize jars over steam for 15-20 minutes.

Place the rice with vegetables in hot sterilized jars.

Drop a little vinegar on the lid and seal the jars. Cover the jars with a blanket until completely cool.

Store in a dark, cool place. Serve cold or heated.
