Zesty Veggie Stew over Brown Rice
Ingredients
1 tsp. olive oil
1/3 cup thinly sliced onion
2 medium carrots, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
1 (15 oz.) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 (15 oz.) can no salt added diced tomatoes
1 (15 oz.) can no salt added stewed tomatoes
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. ground red pepper, or to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 cups hot cooked brown rice
1 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
How we make it
Pre-heat oil in large saucepan over high heat. Add onion, carrots and
bell pepper. Sauté, stirring frequently, until they soften, about 5 to 6
minutes. Add zucchini, garlic and vegetable broth and continue cooking,
stirring frequently for 3 minutes.
Stir in drained chickpeas and un-drained diced and stewed tomatoes,
sugar, red pepper and salt and ground black pepper to taste. Leave
uncovered and bring to a boil, stirring gently. Reduce heat and simmer
uncovered for 20 minutes; add 2 more minutes if you desire thicker
consistency.
Serve over hot brown rice and garnish with parsley, if desired.
