Lemon-Pepper Green Beans and Rice image

I usually eat vegetarian meals for lunch, and in an attempt to try something new I made this up last night. Even more delicious than I had expected! Measurements will be mostly estimated, as I just threw together the amount that looked right for me.

Time 25m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup rice
1 beef bouillon cube
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove
1/4 of a red pepper
1/2 cup green beans
0.25 (8 ounce) can tomatoes
1 dash lemon juice
lemon pepper, to taste
Mrs Dash's extra spicy seasoning, to taste
shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the rice according to the directions on the package, and add the bouillon cube to the water the rice is cooking inches.
  • Saute onion and garlic in olive oil until garlic is slightly browned.
  • Add the red pepper and cook for a minute or two.
  • Add the green beans and tomatoes.
  • Add as much lemon pepper and Mrs. Dash as suits you, as well as the lemon juice. By only adding a little bit of lemon juice you enhance the lemony flavor without overpowering everything else.
  • Put the vegetable mixture over the cooked rice, sprinkle a little cheese on top if you like, and enjoy!
