BLACK RICE WITH VEGETABLES

This is one of my best friend favorite meal – Rebecca’s. Ever since we have come to the United States and have been looking for healthy food ideas. We had not that much time those days and wanted to eat something healthy and rich in nutrients. So, I started to combine random ingredients together and that’s how this tasty dish was made. 
I used to use buckwheat, however this time I went for the black rice. It fits perfectly with sweet potatoes and peppers as well.

Ingredients:

1 cup of black rice / buckwheat

some olive oil

½ onion

2 pieces of garlic

1 sweet potato

1 yellow pepper

1 red pepper

1/2 teaspoon of pink salt

some spicy pepper

some fresh parsley

Directions:

1. Cook 1 cup of black rice or buckwheat in 2 cups of water.
2. In the meantime, wash, pill and cut the vegetables into squares.
3. Heat the olive oil on the pot and fry onion and grounded garlic.
4. Add vegetables to it and fry till they will be soft.
