What are we cooking today?
Not a common dish but delicious and so easy to prepare. It is more filling than you'd expect so great for lunch to avoid afternoon snacking.
Getting started
- Combine 2 cups of water with 1 cup of brown rice in a pot over high heat. When the water comes to a boil, cover the pot and turn heat down to the lowest setting for 45 minutes. (Do not stir. Simply set a timer and let the rice cook.)
- (or use pre-cooked rice)
Heat the broth in a pot over medium heat, add rice, chicken or chickpeas, and chipotle spice and heat through for 10 minutes.
Add zucchini, sweet corn and celery and cook for 5 more minutes.
Ladle into bowls and top with coriander, onions, avocado and lime wedges.
Annabelle's tips
Add a sprinkle of chilli flakes on top for a flash of colour and spice.
