Here is a fantastic recipe for something delicious to do with those greens you have. This is a great way to show off your culinary skills.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup of Black or Brown Rice
- 1 Tbsp. of your favorite cooking oil
- 1 diced Onion
- 2 Cloves of minced Garlic
- 6 cups of your favorite chopped Greens
- 1 Cup of sliced Mushrooms
- ¼ Cup of Slivered Toasted Almonds
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- ⅓ of a Lemon
- 2-4 Slices of Bacon - Optional
Directions
- Cook rice according to package instructions. (For brown rice, this means 2 parts water, 1 part rice. Place in a pan, cover, and bring to a boil. Then simmer for 45 minutes, or until rice is tender.)
- If using optional bacon - Chop and fry bacon in a large skillet until not completely cooked, and drain off most grease. Then, remove partially cooked bacon and set it aside.
- If not using bacon - In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- To a warmed oiled large skillet, add onion and garlic, and sauté until onions are nearly translucent. Stir in mushrooms, and cook another 3-5 minutes, until mushrooms get a nice sear.
- Stir in greens (and bacon if using) and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring regularly, until greens are tender, 3-4 minutes. Squeeze lemon on top, and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
- Divide rice between bowls, and top with greens. Scatter almonds across each bowl. Serve.
