Ingredients

  • 1 cup White Rice uncooked
  • 2 medium Carrots finely diced
  • 4 large Bella Mushrooms finely diced
  • 1/2 Yellow Bell Pepper finely diced
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion finely diced
  • 4 tbsp Olive Oil divided
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumin
  • Sea Salt to taste
  • Freshly Ground Black Peppercorn to taste
  • 2 tbsp Lime Juice
  • 1 tbsp Cilantro

Instructions

  • Cook the rice in 1 1/2 cups water. Bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and let cook for 15 minutes.
  • While the rice is cooking, saute the carrots, mushrooms, bell pepper, and onion over medium heat in a large skillet. Season with some salt. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the carrots are soft and the onions are cooked through.
  • Add the remaining oil and then the rice. Add the cumin, salt, and pepper. Saute, stirring often, until the rice has cooked through a bit - about 2-4 minutes.
  • Add in the lime juice and cilantro. Stir and remove the rice from the pan to a bowl.
