Today we have potluck at Anush's school and I had to sign up for a dish. I know I need to make something that everyone would eat and made it healthy and simple too, cos I didn't want to get the leftovers. :-)
So I thought of this recipe that is hearty with all these veggies and topped it with toasted almonds.
Ingredients:
-----------
1 pod of Garlic chopped finely
1 medium yellow Onion
1/4 cup Yellow Pepper chopped
1/4 cup Green Pepper chopped
1 big Zucchini
1 cup mixed Vegetables (fresh or frozen - I used the frozen with beans, carrot, corn and peas)
salt to taste
1 tsp of White Pepper powder
1/4 tsp Red Pepper fakes
2 tbsp Butter
1tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup of Almond flakes toasted
2 cups Cooker Long Grain Rice (I used Basmati Rice)
Method:
---------
1. In a sauce pan add butter and olive oil, when it's medium hot add the garlic and onions and saute it until the onions are translucent.
2. Now add the zucchini and saute it for about 5-6 mins.
3. In the meantime in a bowl add the frozen vegetables and bit water and cook in the microwave for about 2 mins. (Note: If you are using fresh veggies then you need to cook them along with zucchini)
4. Once the zucchini is done cooking add the peppers and saute it for about a min, add salt white pepper powder and red pepper flakes.
5. Now add the cooked rice and mix all the ingredients properly until incorporated.
6. Transfer this into the serving bowl and top it with the toasted almonds or with your choice of chopped and toasted nuts.
