Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red onion diced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
  • 2 3/4 cups water
  • 1/3 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup vegan cheddar cheese grated
  • 2 tablespoons scallions chopped

Instructions

  • Into a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot add the red onion. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently until softened. Add the garlic and continue cooking for an additional 1 minute.
