I wanted something hearty but healthy and vegan to start off 2014 fresh. I probably should have went with brown rice but felt kind of lazy for the 45 versus 15 minutes of cook time. This little number is full of veggies and filling without making me sleepy. I also love soyrizo basically more than life itself.
1. Cook 1 1/2 cups of rice. I'm usually pretty bad at cooking rice until i heard this great tip - cook rice like pasta in a big pot of boiling water. Simple but kind of genius!
2. Dice 1 green pepper, jalapeño and red onion. Sauté in olive oil with soyrizo for about 5 minutes. Add 1 minced garlic clove, a heavy sprinkle of cumin and season with salt and pepper.
3. Add 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth, 2 rinsed cans of kidney beans, 1 can of diced tomatoes with the juice, and 1 bay leaf. Bring to boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve with the rice and sprinkle scallions on top.
