Italian Black Rice Vegetable Bowl: An Enticing Recipe

A simple vegetarian bowl with nutty and nutritious Italian black rice and vegetables. This easy-to-make recipe gets ready in just 30 minutes. It’s a cross between an Asian short-grain black rice and an Italian variety. It cooks at about the same time as brown rice, and it fills the kitchen with a buttery-nutty smell while it cooks, kind of like basmati. Be sure to cook this healthy, delicious recipe on the go!

INGREDIENTS

● 1 cup of Italian black rice

● Kosher salt

● Extra virgin olive oil

● Juice of half a lemon

● Fresh mozzarella, sliced or torn into pieces

● Roasted red bell peppers, sliced

● Sliced mini cucumbers

● Roasted cubed eggplant and or baby zucchini

● Fresh basil, parsley, and arugula

INSTRUCTIONS

● Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add a teaspoon of salt and rice. Cook until the rice is just tender, with a tiny bit of bite in the centre of the grain; 25 - 35 minutes. Drain.

● Put the rice in a large bowl and pour over a few tablespoons of olive oil and lemon juice. Season with more salt to taste.

● Serve warm in bowls topped with mozzarella and garnished with your choice of fresh or roasted vegetables and greens.

Buon Appetito!!
