Just a few days left in my cleanse program and I have definitely developed a taste for brown rice pasta. Tonight I sautéed a variety of veggies and served brown rice pasta with them.
Brown rice pasta with sautéed vegetables and chick peas
Boil a half cup of brown rice pasta. While water is coming to a boil, pour a tablespoon or 2 of extra virgin olive oil into a pan. Begin chopping one onion, one garlic clove, 1 eggplant, 2 plum tomatoes, and 2 red peppers. Heat the onion and garlic first. Once softened add the remaining veggies and also add a small amount of organic chicken broth ( just enough to cover the vegetables). Cover and allow to simmer. Meanwhile, check pasta and drain. Check veggies and stir. When they have softened add chopped kale ( a few hand fulls). As kale is steaming in pan, drain and rinse 1 can of chick peas. Great northern beans would work well too. Add to pan. Simmer another few minutes and season with some fresh basil and black pepper . Pour veggies over the brown rice pasta, toss and enjoy!
I continue to learn how to make healthy meals that do not need butter and salt or anything artificial. So happy to be able to share. Hoping my cleansing clients are reading and gathering some ideas! The above meal can have many substitutions-lean, ground turkey, organic chicken breast, shrimp, fish...the possibilities are endless! Send me some feedback.
Still trying to figure out how to change font! It shows a different one on my screen ,and then I hit publish and it goes back to the original. Any suggestions folks?
