Method

Preparing the Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Begin by rinsing the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

Steaming the Vegetables

  1. 3

    Prepare the Steamer

    Fill a pot with about 1-2 inches of water and bring to a simmer. Place a steamer basket over the pot, making sure it doesn't touch the water.

  2. 4

    Steam the Vegetables

    Add the broccoli, celery, green peppers, mushrooms, black olives, onion, and tomato to the steamer basket. Cover and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant in color.

  3. 5

    Add the Green Chile

    After steaming, mix in the vegetarian green chile, stirring gently to combine with the vegetables. Allow to heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Rice

    Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and serve it on individual plates.

  2. 7

    Top with Vegetables

    Spoon the steamed vegetable mixture over the rice. Serve immediately.
