Quick and Easy rice dish
This is a fast and easy side dish for any meal. it takes very little time to make and has only a few ingredients.
I made this tonight to go with salisbury steak, we also like to have it with Chicken and fish. something to make when your main dish may take most of your time.
what you will need are the following items.
2 cups of instant brown rice (you can use white if you prefer)
2 cups of water
1 tbsp beef, chicken or vegetable bullion depending on your main dish
minced onion
minced garlic
seasoning to taste (for the beef I used white pepper, red pepper, crushed red pepper flakes and creole seasoning)
when I make fish I like to add whatever I season the fish with, and the same with the chicken.
I also added 1/4 cup of sauteed bell pepper and onion
bring the water to a boil with all ingredients other than the rice, once water has come to a full boil add the rice, stir and remove from heat. cover and allow to cook through. when the rice has cooked fake with a knife and serve with your main dish. like I said it is fast and easy and you will not believe the taste that it brings to your meal. the brown rice is a healthy alternative to the white rice. When I sauteed my onions and bell peppers I used just a little bit of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, you could also use sunflower oil.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with this recipe add anything and everything make this recipe your own!
