Time 1h3m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup brown rice
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 zucchini, thinly sliced
6 tablespoons fresh cilantro, diced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the rice according to package directions, using the broth instead of water and salt.
  • 2. Once rice is close to done, heat the oil in a large skillet over low heat.
  • 3. Add the bell peppers, cilantro, basil, and salt. Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  • 4. Add in zucchini (this is so it doesn't get all soggy) and cook vegetables for 2 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
  • 5. Serve the vegetables over the rice.
