Green 'brown' rice- Lunch box idea


This recipe contains good amount of fibers and nutritional value. Nonetheless, it is easy to make!

Ingredients:
1 cup of brown rice
1 big green pepper, diced
12-15 florets of broccoli
1/4 cup of diced onion
2-3 green Thai pepper, chopped (or according to your need)
salt to taste
olive oil for seasoning

Preparation: Cook rice with 3 cups of water

Method:
1. Heat oil in a pan
2. Add onion chops and fry until they are translucent
3. Add the Thai peppers and fry for a minute
4. Add bell pepper, broccoli and cook until they are half cooked. I don't prefer my veggies to be completely cooked, just to retain some amount of fibers in them
5. Add salt and mix
6. Now add the cooked brown rice and gently mix together. Cover the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes
