Roots Rice Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Dice the carrots, beets, and sweet potato into small cubes. Mince the garlic and dice the onion.

2

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

3

Add Root Vegetables

Add the diced carrots, beets, and sweet potato to the pot. Stir well and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.

4

Cook the Rice

Add the rinsed brown rice to the pot and stir to combine with the vegetables. Pour in the vegetable broth, and season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

5

Simmer

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

6

Finish and Serve

Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork, stir in the chopped fresh parsley, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm.
