Brown Rice with Peas, Tomatoes, Bell Peppers and Basil

cake

Easy, refreshing and healthy. Make it from scratch or by using your fridge leftovers you can’t make it wrong. Use whatever vegetables you have available (raw or cooked) add some basil or pesto. This version is with peas, roasted peppers and tomatoes. Serve it warm or cold.

Tip: when you make rice make it more and keep it in the fridge up to a week. Cook Once Eat Twice 🙂
