Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Fried Feta Rice with Vegetables.
Step 1
To start your delicious dish, grab a saucepan and bring 2 cups of water to a lively boil.
Step 2
Once it's bubbling, add in 1 cup of brown rice.
Step 3
Lower the heat and let it simmer gently until the rice is tender, which should take about 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 4
If there's any excess water left, simply drain it away.
Step 5
Next, set up a steamer insert in another saucepan, filling it with water just below the bottom of the steamer.
Step 6
Bring this water to a boil, then toss in 3 cups of frozen green beans.
Step 7
Cover the pot and let the beans steam until they’re tender, which will take around 2 to 6 minutes.
Step 8
Now, let’s bring everything together! In a large skillet, warm up 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 9
Once the oil is shimmering, add the cooked rice and those vibrant green beans.
Step 10
Sauté them together for about 5 to 10 minutes, allowing them to get lightly crisped and golden.
Step 11
For a burst of flavor, stir in 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese.
Step 12
If you’re feeling indulgent, drizzle a little extra olive oil on top and finish with a pinch of ground black pepper to taste.
Step 13
And there you have it—a delightful, wholesome dish that’s not only easy to make but also packed with flavor! Enjoy every bite!.
