List of Ingredients

olive oil pan spray
1 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 cups brown rice
8 large garlic cloves, pressed
3 cups water (I use chicken broth for added flavor)
1 cup fresh green beans, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 cup yellow crookneck squash, cubed
1 cup broccoli florets
1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 tbsp. sesame seeds, toasted
2 tsp. light soy sauce


Recipe

Spray heavy large skillet with cooking spray and heat over low heat. Add onion; sauté until golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Add rice and garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add 3 cups water ; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover tightly and cook until rice is tender and almost all liquid is absorbed, about 35 minutes; do not stir. Uncover skillet and place green beans, squash, broccoli, corn and carrot evenly over surface of rice. Cover and cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in red bell pepper and sesame seeds. Mix in soy sauce. Toss to coat.
