Veggie Rice
Serves: 2-4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
3 cups cooked brown rice (cooked in chicken broth)
2 stalks celery, diced
1 14.5 ounce can crushed tomatoes with chilies, drained
2 large carrots, peeled and diced
1/2 red onion, diced
1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil Substitute: extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon raw honey
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
Salt/Pepper to taste
Heat coconut oil in large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, & celery. Sauté just until soft, about 4-6 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes & honey. Add rice, combining well; heat through. Add salt & pepper to taste; sprinkle parsley on top. Serve immediately.
Note: When I say "cook rice in chicken broth," I simply mean replacing water with chicken broth - it helps give a really nice flavor to the dish. Sometimes I will cook the rice a day in advance to save time. Also, the reason I put honey in this dish is to balance the acidity from the tomatoes. It really helps improve flavor and makes it a little easier on the stomach.
