Ingredients
1 cup Onion, chopped
1-2 tablespoon Avocado oil
1 cup Carrots, sliced
1 cup Red Bell Pepper
3 cups Mushrooms
1 cup Brown short grain rice
1 cup Leeks, chopped
1 cup Tomato, chopped
1 tablespoon Turmeric
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions
In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook sliced or chopped mushrooms without adding any oil, liquid, or sauce. As the mushrooms heat up, they release their juices and cook in their own liquid, concentrating the flavor of the mushrooms.
Towards the end of cooking (after about 5 to 7 minutes), once the mushrooms have released much of their moisture, add 1-2 tablespoon avocado oil, onion, pepper, leeks ,carrots, tomato and cook 5 to 7 minutes until tender.
Stir in rice and add turmeric, salt and pepper.
Add water; bring mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat; cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until rice is tender.
