This is our version of a favorite dish from a favorite restaurant near Garden Dish headquarters.   The colors are so attractive – an appetizing yellow in the grains, with splashes of green, orange, and dark red from the vegetables and beans.  The seasoning pairs well with fruit such as mandarin oranges and bananas as shown here as a side dish.
