To make a brown rice and vegetable risotto recipe, you'll first need to prepare the rice. Brown rice is the most common type of rice, but you can use any type. You can also use white rice if you don't like the taste of brown. Add 1 cup of water to the pot and bring it to boil. Once the water is boiling, add 2 tablespoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it begins to thicken.

Stir in 2 cups of chopped parsley, 1 chopped scallions, 2 chopped green bell peppers, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 2 tbsp. of olive oil. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
