Quick Healthy & Easy

Hello Vegan Gluten Free Enthusiasts!

I'd like to share a super easy and healthy meal to cook in about 20 minutes.

All you need is 
Rice
Mushrooms, Broccolini, Leeks, & Garlic (because I can't eat without garlic!)

The quantity depends on how many people will eat and how much each one eats, personally I always have to cook for two because I eat that much!  

For cooking rice, I cook it the Brazilian way, so I add the quantity of rice, garlic and olive oil fry it a little then add the water.  When cooking rice always add double the amount of water to rice.  So for example one cup of rice, two cups of water.  Once you've added the water, as soon as it boils, turn down the heat to a low simmer (for those of you that have an electric stove, about a "2" is good).  When there is no more water, but the rice isn't burnt yet, its ready.  And don't worry if you burn the pan, for my first ten years of cooking I would burn the rice every time.  To clean it, you just let the pan soak.

Delicious Alternative: For the rice, I used half water, and half vegetable broth & white wine.  Try it :)

Then I cooked the mushrooms and garlic in a pan first (these two take a bit longer to cook, and not as delicious on the raw side)... A minute or two before the rice was ready I added the chopped up broccolini and leeks.  I like my veges on the crunchy side, so really I'm just heating them up.  Season to taste.  Since I already had an Italian theme going I used the "Everyday Seasoning" from Trader Joe's.

Bonus: this meal should cost under $5.

And done.
Bon appetite!
