Lemony Brown Rice

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Brown Rice (uncooked)
  • 1 cup Water (for rice)
  • 2 Celery Stalks (cross sections)
  • 1/2 Sweet Red Italian Pepper (chopped)
  • 1/2 Leek (half moons)
  • 1.5 tbsp Lemon Zest (chopped finely)
  • 1-2 tsp Unrefined Sugar
  • 1-1.5 tbsp Margarine or Oil
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Olive Oil
  • Optional : 1/4 cup Walnuts (chopped)

Preparation

  1. Cook the rice until just before its done and still a little firm. Leave uncovered and set aside to allow some moisture to escape.
  2. Mix the lemon zest with sugar (and optionally walnuts) and set aside.
  3. Saute the leeks in a little olive oil over medium heat until they start to soften and their flavor mellows, then add celery and red pepper. Continue to saute until the celery and red pepper soften just a bit then remove from heat and mix the vegetables with the rice.
  4. Saute the lemon zest in the margarine / oil over medium low heat for a couple minutes then mix with the rice, salt to taste, add extra oil if needed and serve.
