Rice is easily digested and light on the stomach. It is also filling. Believe it or not, but 50% of the world’s population depends on rice for its nutrition and, in many countries, particularly in Asia, Africa and Latin America, rice may be part of every meal. Because rice is relatively bland, it complements other foods and can be had with gravies, curries, sauces and condiments to increase the flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rice
- Himalayan salt to taste
- 2 tbsp. oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3-4 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 tbsp. grated lemon rind
- 2 green peppers, chopped
- ¼ tsp. cracked organic black pepper
Directions
Clean and wash rice and drain
Put in a heavy pan with 2 cups water and salt.
Let it come to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat, cover and cook till rice is tender and water absorbed. This should take around 15 minutes. Keep covered.
In a non-stick pan, heat oil.
Put in the onion, celery stalks lemon rind and peppers and sauté till barely done.
