I really enjoy finding new ways to make every day food healthier and adding vegetables to wholegrain rice is such a quick and easy way to do just that.I love rice and I love to serve it with lots of different things. One thing I have found is that when I serve rice with meals like curry or chilli, I don’t always think about adding a vegetable side dish. This rice is a great way to do that, but by mixing the vegetables into the rice they actually feel like they are meant to be a part of the meal, rather than something healthy on the side.
You could make this with any vegetables you have in the fridge. I’ve done it with green beans, spinach and sweetcorn and it’s always great. This recipe not only gets you closer to your 5 a day (or 7 a day) it is also a great way to bulk out a meal and feed a crowd on a budget.
