Ingredients (about 5 servings):

  • 1 C. brown rice (uncooked)
  • 1-2 zucchinis, sliced
  • grated cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Cook brown rice according to package (takes about 45 minutes). Remove from heat, but keep the lid on so the rice stays warm.
  2. In a small pot boil just enough water to cover the bottom of the pot about 1/4 of an inch high. Once it is boiling, add sliced zucchini. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook covered for about 5 minutes. Drain water out.
  3. Serve a scoop of hot brown rice topped with zucchini and grated cheese (you can mix it up a little to help the cheese melt). Add salt and pepper to taste.
