This dish is another instance of how the colorful vegetable blends perfectly with mushrooms and rice. The result is a flavorful combination that can stand on its own as a main course, besides being used as a side dish. In addition to being low on calories, it requires little preparation time and is a blessing for vegetarians. In fact, I am a vegetarian for two days of the week for religious reasons, and this pilaf is often my lunch!
Ingredients:
3 cups cooked rice
4 large cloves garlic, minced fine
1 lb. chopped broccoli/ broccoli cuts/ broccoli florets
1/2 lb. sliced mushrooms
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. salt or to taste
Cilantro/coriander leaves
1 tbsp. oil
Method:
Heat oil in a heavy bottomed saucepan and fry the garlic for a minute, then add mushrooms,
broccoli, ground cinnamon, cilantro/coriander leaves and salt. Cover with the lid and cook on medium low heat for ten minutes. Add cooked rice just before turning off the heat. Let stand for five minutes. Garnish with cilantro/coriander leaves.
