Ingredients
- ½ cup (90 g) brown rice (uncooked)
- 1 cup (200 g) green beans, fresh
- ¾ cup (150 g) peas (frozen)
- 1 ball low fat mozzarella (1 ball = 100g/3.5oz)
- 20 leaves basil, fresh
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbsp olives (black)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the brown rice according to package instructions.
- Blanch the green beans. This means heat up a pot with really salty water. Once it’s boiling like crazy throw in the beans. Cook them for about 3-5 minutes, so they don’t ‘squeak’ anymore.
- Throw the peas in for just a few seconds at the end. Then cool everything down as fast as you can.The best way to do this is to get a bowl with cold water and some ice cubes.
- Boil the eggs for 6 minutes. Also cool them down and then peel the skin off when they’re lukewarm.
- Rip the mozzarella into pieces and halve the eggs.
- Cut the beans roughly in half, mix in a bowl with the peas and sprinkle with a bit of salt, pepper, olive oil. Chop the basil and add that too.
- Mix everything together, except the eggs. Serve with brown rice, and finish with the eggs on top. Done!
