Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 pound fresh green beans trimmed
  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas
  • 1 cup cooked kidney beans
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Equipment

  • Medium-sized Pot
  • Skillet
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Serving bowls

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 cup of brown rice and toast it for a couple of minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  2. Pour in 2 cups of vegetable stock and add 1/2 teaspoon of coarse ground black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  3. In a skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the trimmed green beans and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are bright green and just tender. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt.
  4. Add the cooked chickpeas and kidney beans to the skillet with the green beans. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
  5. To serve, divide the cooked brown rice among serving bowls. Top with the sautéed bean mixture and sprinkle each bowl with 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
