Brown rice It serves as an accompaniment to many dishes at home. We especially like it when combined with vegetables as in this recipe, in which it is the protagonist along with broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. You will be surprised how easy this Brown Rice with Cauliflower and Steamed Broccoli is and how delicious it is.
Brown rice doesn't cook as quickly as white rice, but we can use this to our advantage. How? Taking advantage of the cooking time to steam vegetables who will accompany you. If you like vegetables al dente, this is a good way to cook them, without a doubt!
You can also steam carrots cut into sticks or microwave. Do you remember the recipe for microwaved carrots that we recently updated? You can add a little onion to it and you will achieve a great tandem to complete this recipe. Shall we get to work?
