• 1 med Onion, finely minced
• 1 x Garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 ounce Extra virgin olive oil
• 8 ounce Long-grain brown rice
• 3/4 pt Vegetable stock
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric
• 8 ounce French beans
• 4 ounce Peas, fresh or possibly frzn
• 4 ounce Corn, fresh or possibly frzn
• 1 x Red bell pepper, minced
• 4 ounce Peanuts -=Or possibly=- cashews

Directions

1. Cook the onion & garlic in the extra virgin olive oil till soft & golden brown. Stir in the rice till coated proportionately with the oil. Add in the stock, salt & turmeric. Bring to a boil & simmer for about 40 min. The rice should be tender & all the liquid absorbed.
2. While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Cut the beans into small chunks. Cook in boiling salted water till tender (I'd prefer to steam them). Drain well.
3. Cold the rice & vegetables & mix together with the bell pepper. Stir in half the nuts & place in a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the remaining nuts. Serve with an oil & vinegar dressing if liked.
