Do you need a dish you can eat throughout the day at work? Kaleidoscope Rice Bowl is your solution! My friend, David, is a home physical therapist who spends his days either at patients’ homes or in his car traveling to the next one. He doesn’t have time to stop for lunch, and he’s a tall, trim, hungry guy who likes to eat often. David created this dish out of a need to have food handy whenever and wherever he was during his day. He takes this with him in a cooler in his car. Whenever he needs a shot of energy, he pops the lid and enjoys this nourishing and satisfying dish. Now, there’s no excuse not to eat healthy, even on the road.
Kaleidoscope Rice Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 14 oz pkg - instant brown rice (about 8 cups cooked rice)
- 1 28 oz can - whole tomatoes, chopped
- 1 15 oz can - great northern beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 15 oz can - black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 ½ cups - broccoli florets, fresh or frozen, chopped
- 1 cup - golden raisins
- 1 cup - sliced almonds
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to the package directions (but no butter, of course).
- While the rice is cooking, add the remaining ingredients to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add the cooked rice and mix well to coat all the rice with the tomato juice. Salt to taste.
- Refrigerate leftovers in a covered bowl. This dish tastes great hot or cold.
Tips
- Try substituting kidney beans and garbanzo beans for the beans listed above, or try your favorite combination.
- Feel free to substitute other vegetables in place of the broccoli if you like. David suggests microwaving baby carrots, and cutting them into halves before adding to the dish.
