Ingredientsā
3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oilā
2 cups of any rice of your choiceā
4 cups of water or bone broth (any broth makes it more flavorful! šÆ)ā
1 small onion, finely choppedā
2 shallots, finely choppedā
4 cloves of garlic, finely mincedā
sea salt to tasteš§ā
2 cups of halved cherry tomatoesā
one can of small organic chickpeas OR black beansā
a handful of chopped organic cilantroā
1 cup of finely chopped red or green bell peppersā
2 cups of roasted corn (or organic corn) I season mine with paprika, chili powder, cumin, a pinch of Tabasco and garlic powder. About 1/4 tsp each!
In a large saucepan with a lid, heat the extra virgin olive oil & add the shallots and onions.
Stir until softened/translucent then add the garlic. Finally, stir in the rice until well coated/ mixed with the oil and onions. Add the broth and stir, once it boils: reduce heat to a simmer and cover the saucepan with a lid. Simmer for ~ 20 mins. Turn off the heat and leave covered for at least another 10 mins so it can fluff up. In a separate bowl: mix in all the vegetables. Before serving, top over the rice and mix in. Other option: add the vegetables to the rice before you add the broth and have them cook with the rice if you prefer everything warm/sauteed.
