Garden Veggies and Brown Rice

Ingredients

1 yellow squash
1 zucchini
5 grape tomatoes
sea salt
2 garlic cloves
Pepper
Olive oil
Parmesan cheese


I've had a bag of brown rice in the cupboard for a while. Every time I went to get something, it would fall out and land in my hands. I'm not a big rice person, so I ignored the bag for a while, sticking it back behind the cereal boxes and crackers.

Today, I decided to cook it. I put the rice in a pot with 2 1/2 cups water and let it simmer with the lid on for about 45 minutes. I added a little butter and sea salt to it. Meanwhile, I got out a skillet and placed it over the stove. I added olive oil and garlic and let it cook, while I started cutting the zucchini and squash. I cut them into thin circles and placed them in pan along with some diced grape tomatoes. I added a few dashes of sea salt and cooked the veggie mix until the zucchini and squash were tender. I added the veggies to the brown rice and sprinkled on some Parmesan. Yum!

Costs: Around $4
Servings: 2
