Hot and spicy brown rice.

 Simple hot and spicy vegan brown rice dish.

I thought i would share this really tasty rice dish i created at the weekend. It was a nice low budget rice dish that was filling and healthy. We all loved it and it will certainly be a great end of the month dish. 

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp Olive oil or any oil you have to hand
• 1 Red Onion quartered and sliced
• 2 Garlic's sliced
• 1/4 bag of spinach or 3 blocks of frozen Spinach
• 1 carrot quartered and sliced
• 1 yellow, red or green pepper sliced ( I like a mix of three colours together ), i used a handful of frozen peppers instead of fresh in my dish
• 1 cup of frozen peas
• l leek cut finely cut in small rings
• 2cups of brown rice
• 1 vegetable stock cube
• 2 tsp of hot and spicy mix ( or to taste )

happy vegan veggies

1. Put on the large pan of water for the brown rice, add the stock cube. Boil then add the rice and cook until ready.
2. Chop the red onion and place in the saucepan with some oil ( about a tablespoon ) and brown gently. Add the garlic and gently fry. Add the spice mix to taste until its aroma becomes stronger.
3. Add the carrot, pepper and leek and spinach and peas and stir fry, if you are using anything frozen allow the water to evaporate during frying.
4. When the rice is ready I personally like to drain it then run a boiled kettle of water over the rice to get rid of the starch.
5. Add the vegetables to the rice and serve, its just as good cold the next day for leftover lunch.
