Meet my rice steamer. I’ve had it a few months now, and they honeymoon is over – but I’m definitely still enthralled. (Same for my real-life husband…anyway.) Not only does it make rice more delicious and easy than a stovetop method, but it came with a handy steamer basket for steaming veggies, which I am putting to good use. If you don’t have a rice steamer, I really do recommend you consider one. My mouth is watering right now just typing about it.
This is a super healthy, and super tasty meal, that literally takes about 10 minutes to throw together.
Rice Steamer Quick Meal
1 C. rice
2 1/4 C. water
1 can beans, rinsed and drained. (Note: I like chick peas here the best, but any bean will do.)
1 can diced tomatoes
1 1/2 C. chopped fresh vegetables of your choice
Salt, pepper, and seasonings of choice
Just dump your rice and water into the rice cooker. Then in the steam basket, add your chopped fresh veggies (I am loving zucchini, peppers and onions, but really anything you have on hand will work). Add on top the beans and tomatoes, salt, pepper, and seasonings. Turn the steamer on, wait until it beeps, then pat yourself on the back for making something delicious and healthy for dinner.
