I cook a lot of things like this, but the effect of this one was something like French peasant food, or perhaps far more risotto than stir-fry. Comforting.

A different take on rice and vegetables.

Put two cups of brown basmati rice in pressure cooker to cook (12 minutes high pressure)

Chop half a head of garlic
one medium carrot
two stalks of celery
sautee in olive oil in wok (or large skillet, or whatever) with a pinch of fennel and a few pinches of fenugreek

add half a pound of lion's head mushrooms (or whatever mushrooms you like, or no mushrooms at all) and some cooked chick peas (two cups?) sautee a bit more

Add a quart or so of green beans, washed and snapped into bite sized pieces, and then three chopped medium summer squash. Add a bit of white wine, cover, and steam.

When vegetables are just tender, uncover, fold in rice and add remainder of glass of white wine. Add a bit of marjoram, and salt to taste.
