Ingredients

One-Pot Veggie Rice

  • 1 cup rice dry
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large carrot chopped
  • 2 cups broccoli chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • ½ cup black or kidney beans cooked
  • Spicy peanut butter sauce

Instructions

  • Put the dry rice with double the amount of water and a pinch of salt in a frying pan. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 8 minutes.
  • Add all of the vegetables (garlic, carrot, broccoli, bell pepper, green onions) to the rice in your pan. Let everything simmer for another 12 minutes.
  • In the meantime, prepare the easy peanut butter sauce by placing all ingredients in a blender jar and processing them until smooth.
  • Once the vegetables have become soft, the rice is cooked and all the water is absorbed, stir in your cooked beans and as much of the peanut butter sauce as you like.
  • Let the flavors combine for 2-3 minutes, then divide between serving bowls and enjoy!

Notes

  • Any leftover spicy peanut butter sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to a week and even be frozen.
  • If the water hasn’t fully absorbed once the veggies and rice are cooked, take the lid off for 1-2 minutes so it can evaporate before you stir in your sauce.
  • You can use white or brown rice for this recipe — the latter will require a longer cooking time.
  • This recipe is super versatile and you can swap or add any veggies you like from zucchini to cauliflower, mushrooms, baby corn and more.
