Preparation:

Rinse the rice under cold water several times and stir until a white liquid comes out of them.
I do this a lot because rice has that sticky liquid and arsenic in it.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over moderate heat, add the rice and stir for about 2 minutes.
Immediately after that, add 1 teaspoon of dry spices, stir, then add 200 ml water to mix the ingredients. Let the rice swell.
Add another 200 ml of water and the can of Mix vegetables that you previously strained, stir, cook for about 5 minutes, then add the last 80 ml of water, stirring until the rice swells and the liquid evaporates.
Turn off the heat and serve warm.
Total cooking takes about 25 minutes.

Buon appetito!

NOTE:

If you need a larger quantity for 4, then pour 300 ml of rice, water goes against rice 3:1, but I always reduce the water, for that quantity put same glass 2 and half of water, use 2 cans mixture vegetables each. My rice is never mushy and too soft, because I make it alla dente!
