Rice with Grilled Vegetables Another great, quick recipe to use as a side dish, or even as a main course. Cut up some of your favourite vegetables into large pieces, big enough so they won’t fall through the cooking grates of your grill. Coat your cut up vegetables with a bit of light cooking oil and season with salt & pepper. Toss them on a nice hot grill and sear until soft, flipping once half way through the grilling time. The amount of grilling time will vary based on the vegetables used. I used red and green peppers, a white onion, and cremini mushrooms. The mushrooms took about half the grilling time of the rest of the vegetables (my vegetables took about 10 minutes on a 500ºF grill). If you don’t have a grill, you could toss your vegetables on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven on a fairly high heat (~425ºF). You won’t get the nice grill flavour, but you should get some nice brown bits on the vegetables that will add to the flavour of your rice. While your vegetables are grilling, cook up some of your favourite type of rice. I prefer to use a long, whole grain rice rather than minute rice. I usually keep a bag of Dainty Time-wise Whole Grain on hand since it’s a pretty healthy rice, but it only takes about 15 minutes for it to cook. It’s also really easy to prepare, you cook it the same as you would cook pasta. When your vegetables are done, set them aside and allow to cool for a moment or two. When your rice is done, cut up your vegetables in smaller, bite-size pieces and toss into your rice. You’re done! Eat! Zoom
