Lightly Steamed Veggies over Peanuty Brown Rice

Folks, this is by far the easiest recipe to make. When you need something hearty, quick, super veggie-filled, this is it. You can totally serve this to your non vegan/vegetarian friends and they won't think twice. If you must have meat or tofu, add cooked chicken or baked tofu to the bowl with the rice when you add the peanut sauce.

INGREDIENTS:

Make peanut sauce - taken from the Weight Watchers Cookbook (my favorite version of peanut sauce)

- 4 tablespoons NATURAL no added sugar peanut butter

- 4 cloves of minced garlic

- 4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

- 4 tablespoon sugar

- 2 tablespoon water

- 2 1/2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar

- 2 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

DIRECTIONS:

1 -Combine first 4 ingredients into a processor. Puree it. Add water, vinegar, cilantro. Puree. Set aside. 

2- Cook brown rice - 2 cups, per the directions.

3 - Chop up cauliflower, broccoli, carrots and place in a large pot with a colander at the bottom to STEAM the veggies for about 5-7 minutes. Make sure they're still crisp.

4 - Combine rice and peanut sauce in a large mixing bowl until fully incorporated. Spoon into a bowl (holds the heat better than a plate), and load veggies on top.

That's it! Enjoy:)
