Categories     dinner

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tbsp olive oil
1 white or yellow onion (diced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 medium zucchini (diced)
1/2 eggplant (diced (I used a larger ovoid eggplant - if using Japanese eggplant, which are smaller, you could use a whole eggplant))
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 red bell pepper (diced)
2 Roma tomatoes (diced)
1 cup white rice ((see notes))
1 and 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth (plus more as needed)
fresh basil chiffonade (for serving)

Steps:

  • In a skillet or saucepan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion with a sprinkle of salt, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 to 60 seconds more, until fragrant.
  • Add the zucchini, eggplant, black pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes, another pinch of salt; stir; and cook for 60 seconds. Add the bell pepper and tomatoes with another pinch of salt and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the tomatoes start to release some liquid.
  • Finally, add the rice and vegetable broth and stir. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce it to a simmer. Cover the pan and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 15 to 18 minutes or until the rice is done. Add more liquid if you notice the liquid is low and/or the rice is sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Season to taste with more salt, pepper, dried herbs, and red pepper flakes as desired. Serve hot, topped with chiffonade of fresh basil. Once cooled to room temperature, leftovers can be stored for up to 5-7 days in the refrigerator.

Yield 4 servings

Zest of 1 lime plus lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • For the fish: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the butter, mustard, paprika, chili powder and garlic. Sprinkle the fish on all sides with salt and pepper. Make a foil packet bottom for the fish. For each piece of fish, place an equal amount of the spice butter on the foil, then place the fish on top and top with another equal amount of the spice butter. Cover with another piece of foil.

Gently stir with a fork, then top and close tightly with another piece of foil. Place on the final space on the baking sheet next to the fish packet. Bake until the rice is hot, another 5 minutes.
