I love this recipe because it’s quick and usually a good ‘fridge foraging’ recipe for me.  It a one pan meal, which I always love too.  Super easy.  I think I got this recipe from the Tightwad Gazette, but I can’t really remember.

Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked brown rice
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 2-3 cloves garlic
• one small onion (diced)
• 2 cups veggie broth
• 1 can (or equivalent) cooked beans -white, red, black, chickpeas, whatever!
• 1/2 cup veggies*
• seasoning (salt, pepper, etc)

* I use more than 1/2 cup veggies.  I usually use 1.5 to 2 cups.

Directions

1. Heat oil in skillet.  Add garlic & onion and cook until golden, translucent.
2. Add beans and cook for a few minutes.
3. Add rice and cook a few more minutes.
4. Add veggie broth and bring to a boil.
5. Add veggies and seasoning of your choice.
6. Return to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover.
7. Cook for about 40 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

A one-pan wonder and super yummy!
