Appropriate for the 21 day Quantum Wellness Cleanse. My kids are not fond of brown rice, but I've found if I soak the rice for hours and cook it in a little extra water they'll eat it. I'll usually rinse the rice and set it out to soak some time in the morning. Then it's ready to cook at dinner time. I use a rice cooker every time I cook rice - it's the only way!

Steps:
- Rinse the rice thoroughly. In a large bowl, allow the rice to soak for as long as possible. If you don't have time for this step, the rice will be perfectly fine to eat, it's just a bit chewy. My kids find the rice more palatable if it has soaked for quite a while. I usually put it on to soak right after breakfast.
- An hour or so before you plan to cook dinner, pour off the soaking water and cook the rice however you normally do so. I use a rice cooker and would use 4 cups of water to cook 2 cups of brown rice.
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick fry pan over medium high heat. Add the onions. Cook and stir frequently for 2 minutes, or until tender. Add the red peppers. Stir for 2 minutes. Add the cabbage and garlic. Stir fry an additional 4 minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes, chick-peas and vinegar. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the liquid released from the tomatoes is slightly reduced. Stir in the kidney beans, cook for 2 minutes or until heated through.
- Sprinkle the parsley over all, serve with the brown rice.
