Zucchini’s multiply like rabbits and need to be used or stored for the winter. What better way than to make a mix of healthy veggies and brown rice to accompany any meal entrée. This is fast and easy, faster yet if you use instant brown rice. The kids will get those green veggies you want them too and you get the accolades for a flavorful side dish. Any other veggie you would like to add in, please do. I kept this simple for the contest. Ingredients:
1 cup cooked brown rice |
2 bouillon cubes, i used chicken |
1 small zucchini (diced into chunks) |
1 whole tomato (sliced then halved) |
1/2 large purple onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick (then halved or to your liking) |
1 carrot, diced |
1 red pepper (this may be omitted if preferred) |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 tablespoon italian seasoning |
Directions:
1. Cook brown rice in 2 cups water with bouillon cubes set aside kept warm.
2. Sauté all vegetables and spices in oil until el dente, mix in rice folding over.
