Really, Could This Be Any More Of a Boring Post? Health Nut Brown Rice.

7/3/2012

 
HEALTH NUT BROWN RICE.
Picture
Oh stop being so excited!
    This Health Nut Brown Rice isn't
THAT good.

Now you're just humoring me.

Picture
Here's the fixins for this healthy, side dish.

I say side dish because I ate this as a complete meal and got hungry a half hour later.


This is a super healthy, moist, tasty rice though. In fact, Ima make it tonight again. CRAP! I forgot the sunflower seeds again. DOY!

Anyhoo,
start by making the brown rice with chicken stock.



Picture
Shred up the zucchini, summer squash and carrots.

Chop up the garlic and onion.


Throw the veggies in the skillet and begin sauteeing....



Picture
Now is your rice all cooked?
Yeah?
Good.

Hold tight.
Don't get all antsy with the rice yet.



Add the sliced almonds into the sauteed veggies...
Picture
And the red pepper flakes...
Picture
Now this is where you would add in the sunflower seeds too. If you would have remembered to buy them.  If you had a brain. And weren't peri-menopausal. Shut up.
It's a valid excuse.

Picture

So sautee for a few minutes until the almonds are browned.




Picture
Okay.
I'm showing the rice in the pan AGAIN.
I have rice pan show off issues today. *sheez*
Anyway, add the chopped parsley in.






Picture
And this is what the rice in the pan looks like with the chopped parsley and I think I am doing my best to turn readers off with boring rice pictures where no one will ever tune into my blog again ever.

Besides the fact I can't cook without a recipe, and my pictures tend to be on the, ahem, amateurish side, I am now turning people off with excessive boring  dish pictures.
I blame peri-menopause. Shut up. It's a valid affliction.





Picture


So add the rice into the sauteed vegetables.

Oh look! The rice is FINALLY out of that  pan and being included into the sauteed veggies!

Picture



And
HALLELUJAH!!!!!!


All together now!

Oh Happy Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Picture

So when you go to serve this moist, healthy rice, do me a favor and put it in a serving bowl that is appropriate to the volume of rice.

I love that vintage floral napkin the bowl is displayed on though.

Picture


This rice recipe really is a great side dish with just about anything...chicken, fish, even beef.

Picture
In fact, I did pick up all the ingredients to make this again tonight.
Maybe with a roast chicken.


My stomach just growled when I typed that.

Why I always gotta be hungry?


Yup, you got it.


I blame peri-menopause.

Shut up! It's a

oh you know the drill!


Anyway, here's the recipe.
Very easy!
Health Nut Brown Rice

Ingredients
        1 cup long grain brown rice
        2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
        1 cup carrots, shredded – about 2 medium carrots
        1 cup zucchini, shredded – I used ½ yellow and ½ green
        ½ cup onion, diced
        2 garlic cloves, chopped
        3 tablespoons sunflower seeds – I didn’t have so I didn’t use
        3 tablespoons sliced almonds
        1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
        1 teaspoon olive oil
        2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced or 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
        Pepper

Directions
    Add the rice to the broth, bring to a boil.
    Cook according to package directions.
    Allow the rice to sit covered for 10 minutes.
    When the rice is almost done, saute the carrot and zucchini in olive oil for 2 minutes.
    Add sunflower kernels, almonds and pepper flakes.
    Cook over medium-high heat until the almonds are browned.
    Add rice and parsley and pepper; stir until heated.

    Angie’s Note: I think walnuts would be a great alternative for the sliced almonds.


Okay, that's about it for today folks!
Stay cool and have fun!!!
