Yellow Vegetable Rice Recipe

When I did this recipe during the week my 10yr old son said it looked like Sunday food because Sunday food always seems better even though it may be the same meal as a week day.  Funny child.  Here is the 30th recipe in our 30 Day Nature Isle Recipe Marathon.

Yellow Vegetable Rice

1 cup rice

1 carrot

1 small beet (or 1/2 normal size beet)

1 handful spinach leaves

1/2 onion

3 cloves garlic

1 tsp turmeric powder

Dash of curry

Sea salt

Method

Put rice in pot or rice cooker and add water to about 2 inches above the level of the rice.  Add sea salt and 1 tsp turmeric powder. Cover and let rice come to a boil.  Lower heat. While rice is cooking grate carrot and beet and set aside.  Chop spinach leaves and grate garlic. Slice onion and in another pot saute the onions in coconut oil or olive oil until translucent.  Add a dash of curry, the vegetables and a bit of sea salt. Saute vegetables for about 3 minutes then add garlic.  Stir well and turn off heat.  When rice is done add sauteed vegetables and a drizzle of coconut oil or olive to rice and mix well to incorporate vegetables.  Serve and enjoy!
