Cook the Rice
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, add 2 cups of water for every cup of rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is fluffy and the water is absorbed.

Sauté Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini, cooking for about 5 minutes until softened.
