I love brown rice - it is full of flavour and fibre, adding a nice nuttiness to dishes. This meal uses cooked rice, making it a good dish when you have leftovers. It is also a good way to use up other cooked veg - here I have added green beans and a few peas. You could substitute white rice if you don't have any brown. This dish is very simple and healthy, making use of some of the vegetables common in the Mediterranean diet. If you want to add more protein, some toasted nuts are nice sprinkled on top, although I enjoy a good grating of cheddar. Heat the oil and gently fry the onion and garlic until softened. Add the courgettes, mushrooms and peppers and continue to cook for 5 minutes, then add the tomatoes and the cooked rice. If you have leftover cooked vegetables to add, do so now. Simmer for 10 minutes then add the parsley and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a good sprinkling of grated cheese.Brown rice with Mediterranean vegetables
