Brown Rice Medley

By Hklbrries

"This is basically stir fried brown rice with veggies, which can be a one dish meal or a full family dish, ala oriental, but is very healthy."

"Brown rice has a great nutty flavor. To serve, put the rice on a platter, and add the veggies on top... the color is very pretty, and thus the name 'Brown Rice Medley.'"

Ingredients

• 4 cups brown rice, cooked (for every cup of rice, use two cups of water)
• 1 clove garlic (chopped and add to rice while boiling)
• 1/2 cup onion (1 medium) (same as garlic)
• 4 cups veggies (we used yellow squash, broccoli, red & green peppers and carrots...we love the color!)
• salt (add pinch to boiling water and rice)

Preparation

Step 1

Rinse and then let rice boil, once it boils, put lid on and lower flame, so rice will simmer.

Stir fry veggies, add onion and garlic to flavor. Do not overcook. In fact, do not cook veggies until rice is ready.

You may add cilantro and any other herbs you want at the last minute when you put the rice in. Cilantro adds a great taste.
