Ingredients

• 2 cups Brown rice
• 4 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Orange bell pepper
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 cup Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Purple cabbage
• 1 cup Corn kernels
• 1 cup Peas
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and ensures the rice becomes fluffy.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the rice simmer for 35-40 minutes or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 4

While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables: dice the red and orange bell peppers, slice the carrot and purple cabbage, and chop the garlic cloves finely.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the carrots and broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

Step 7

Add the bell peppers, cabbage, corn, and peas to the skillet. Continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until all vegetables are tender and vibrant.

Step 8

Season the vegetables with salt and ground black pepper.

Step 9

Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the cooked vegetables.

Step 10

Add lemon juice over the rice and vegetables, and toss well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your soy-free seven-colored brown rice, packed with flavor and nutrition.
