Brown Rice, Peas and Corn

Ingredients: 

• 1 Cup Short Grain Brown Rice
• 2½ Cup Vegetable stock 
• 1 Cup Sweet corn (I like to use fresh corn on cob & deseed it) 
• ¾ Cup Frozen Green Peas  
• 3 Spring onions or Scallions roughly chopped 
• 3 Cloves of garlic finely chopped or minced
• 1 tsp. Ginger paste or fresh ginger finely chopped or minced 
• 2 tbsp Olive oil 
• 1 tbsp. Green curry paste or any Curry paste of your choice 
• Pinch of salt 
• Black pepper
• Fresh or Dried Parsley 

Method: 

1. To cook the brown rice, heat stock in a thick bottomed pan. 
2. In the mean while wash and strain the rice. When the stock comes to a boil add the brown rice and cook covered for 20-25 mins, on low to medium heat. 
3. As the rice cooks, get the veggies ready. In a pan heat some oil. Add the spring onions, ginger and garlic. Cook for 3-4 mins, then add the curry paste. 
4. Mix well, cook for another 3-4 mins and then add the sweet corn. Mix gently and cook for 1 min.
5. Now add the green peas. Mix well and cook covered for 5-6 mins or until the peas have softened. 
6. This hardly takes a few minutes to keep an eye on them. I dont like my peas and corn too mushed up so I take it off the heat sooner. 
7. Now make sure the rice has cooked well. Mix the rice and peas and corn mixture gently my using 2 forks. 
8. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and some parsley. 

Very healthy and quick dinner recipe.
