Cooking Instructions for making Buttered Vegetable brown Rice. #Authormarathon
In a sufuria, bring water to boil. Add some very little oil n some grated garlic n ginger. Let them boil.
Add your brown rice. Note: No salt while boiling as I understand n noticed that brown rice takes too long to boil if you add salt while boiling.
As boiling is taking place, be working on your vegetables.
Clean them all and chop them all into cubes n set them aside.
In a sufuria, bring water to boil n add salt. Blanch your green peas n french beans till tender for 10 mins. Remove them from the heat n pass them through cold running water. By doing this, they become tender n maintain its green colour. Avoid over blanching them.
In a frying pan, add some little cooking oil n heat abit. Add 1/2 cubed onions n saute them till almost golden brown.
Add some salt n stir well. Add cubed carrots as you mix well. Add your blanched green peas n french beans as you continue mixing.
Add the remaining onions and 1 tbsp butter. Give them a good mix.
Add courgettes n assorted bell peppers. Sautee for only 5 mins. Correct the seasonings then put off the heat. The below is the photo for the sauteed buttered mixed vegetables. You can opt to have them plain as they are.
By this time your brown rice is already boiled n well cooked.
Add it to the sauteed mixed vegetables n mix well n gently using a kitchen folk. Cover it for 5 mins or until you are ready for service.
Enjoy your meal.
