Vegetables and Mixed Grains

This picture is not accurate. You’ll read it in the post.

Hey there everyone!! This dish is so versatile!! Even the name leaves it open to interpretation. You can use any grains. And any vegetables. I opted for brown rice and the cooked lentils from last week’s post (which I actually made the day before this one). I also decided against the tomatoes (as seen in the picture) and used the potatoes from last week’s post. I also used mushrooms, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, bell peppers, shallots, and garlic.

Our new pan is looking a little rough

Start by cooking the bell peppers in a pan. While this is going on, cook the Brussels sprouts in a vegetable steamer. Lastly, start the rice cooking.

A large amount of mushrooms becomes significantly less when cooked

When the bell peppers are done cooking, use the same pan and cook the mushrooms.

Shallots and Garlic

Once the mushrooms are cooked, use the same pan (you can see why it’s looking rough) to cook the shallots and garlic. Also, switch out the Brussels sprouts for the broccoli.

The sprouts and the shallots

Lastly, add the Brussels sprouts and the shallots/garlic. I topped this dish with some Honey Dijon Mustard Dressing. Absolutely delicious!! I am glad I was able to use the surplus from yesterday’s meal in this one.
