Home Fried Rice

This is a family recipe using leftover rice. This dish contained:

• 1/2 cup onions, chopped
• 1/2 cup carrots, sliced or grated
• 1/4 cup celery, chopped
• 1/2 cup zucchini, peeled and grated
• 1/2 cup sausage, sliced
• 2 cups of rice

Heat a pan with olive oil saute the vegetables, add meat, let it cook. Add rice and mix, letting it simmer for a bit. You can add any meats & vegetables you like, sometimes it depends on what's in the refrigerator. I have used sausage, ham, turkey, chicken, hamburger, pork chops and venison sausage. The vegetables have been onions, green onions, bell peppers, celery, zucchini, broccoli, peas, snow peas and cauliflower. I tend to like a contrast with the colors in the dish; in my case this dish is very colorful.
