Rainbow Rice

Here’s an easy recipe that I have stolen and adapted from the Dominican Republic. Rainbow rice is a colorful dish made of rice, corn niblets, and bell peppers. The peppers are diced into small pieces, to resemble green, red and yellow confetti.

Here I have adapted the recipe a bit, by substituting green bell peppers with sweet peas. I also have used three types of rice – white, brown, and wild rice. Finally, I added sliced bamboo shooters to give some crunchiness, and a dash of paprika to decorate.

The result is a tasty and quick dish that you can easily bring to work for an office lunch.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/3 cup white rice
  • 1/3 cup brown rice
  • 1/4 cup wild rice
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 small scallion
  • 1/4 cup sweet peas
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable powder
  • A handful of fresh parsley
  • A dash of paprika
  • A dash of black pepper

Preparation

Rinse and dice the bell peppers into small square pieces and thinly slice the scallion. Transfer to a large skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil and heat to high. Cook for 5 minutes to soften them. Add the sweet peas and season with pepper. Stir well.

Add the three types of rice, stir well and let toast for a few minutes, until the grains are translucent. Turn the heat to medium and cover with water. Add a teaspoon of vegetable powder and the bamboo shooters. Let cook until the rice is soft and the water is completely absorbed.

I love three things in life: my wife, my cats, and a good meal with a glass of wine. When I met Simona, it was easy to leave meat, dairies and fish behind... I don't miss it! Being vegan has never been a challenge. Over time, Simona and I started to prepare meals together and I discovered that I like cooking too! So, this is my blog... from husband to a vegan cook in one click!
