Found this recipe on and modified it slightly... it's actually very good, healthy and simple! Also looks very nice, because of the beautiful colors. Ingredients:
1 cup brown rice |
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced |
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced |
1 zucchini, thinly sliced |
6 tablespoons fresh cilantro, diced |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. 1. Prepare the rice according to package directions, using the broth instead of water and salt.
2. 2. Once rice is close to done, heat the oil in a large skillet over low heat.
3. 3. Add the bell peppers, cilantro, basil, and salt. Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
4. 4. Add in zucchini (this is so it doesn't get all soggy) and cook vegetables for 2 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
5. 5. Serve the vegetables over the rice.
