About this recipe
I love the wholesome flavours of this easy to make dish. I use brown rice, but feel free to use whatever rice grain you prefer or even a ready made pack of rice if you’re in a rush!
The fibre content of this plant based meal is huge, giving you peace of mind that you’re feeding your gut microbes with plenty of different sources of fibre and tons of veg.
