Simple Summer Rice
Since there has been no recent post in awhile, I decided to post a "simple summer recipe" that I truly enjoyed and thought I would share.
As I have said in a previous post, I am ALL ABOUT the time saver recipes that are economical and use items I have around the house....so enjoy my Simple Summer Rice.
Ingredients:
1 whole zucchini thinly sliced
10 cherry tomatoes cut in half
1 stalk of white corn cut off the cob
1 (or if you are me, 2) cloves of garlic finely chopped
1/4 a cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 cup of brown rice (I cheat and use one package of the Trader Joes instant brown rice)
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Pepper to taste
Directions:
- Cook your rice how you chose to do so. Set aside.
- Place the olive oil in a skillet and brown the garlic until golden-brown.
- Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the corn. Cover and let cook for about 5 min, stirring about half way through.
- Take off the cover and add the zucchini and tomatoes. Turn up heat to medium-high.
- Saute until all vegetables are to the desired crispiness. (about 10-15 minutes is what I prefer)
- Add pepper for taste (I prefer about 1/8 a tsp)
- Add the cooked rice and stir over low heat for about 2 minutes.
- Top with parmesan and stir until cheese is melted.
My kids love this rice and never complain about eating their veggies this way.
I LOVE this rice with breaded chicken stuffed with prosciutto ham and a cold glass of chardonnay.
Perfect SUMMER meal.
Yum!
