Brown Rice with Fresh
Asparagus
1 cup brown rice
2 1/4 cups water or broth
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, as needed
1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed and sliced
1 teaspoon soy sauce or black bean sauce, or other
seasonings as desired
Combine rice, water or broth, and salt in a covered
microwave pot or glass bowl with a lid. Cover. Microwave
on high for 10 minutes, then on half power for 25
minutes, or until the liquids are absorbed and the rice
is done.
Set aside. In meantime,
either microwave the asparagus pieces, covered, using 3
minutes per pound of asparagus; or gently sauté the
slices in a non-stick skillet with a lid until just
barely tender and bright green.
Add the seasoning, and
serve with the brown rice. I love this with Tommy Tang's
Black Bean sauce added to the asparagus. Also, try the
rice with Rothschild's Raspberry Salsa.
