Brown Basmati Rice with Zucchini

Ingredients:

1 Cup Brown Basmati Rice cooked and set aside.

1 Zucchini quartered and cut into 1/2” cubes

2 Tbs. Extra Virgin Coconut oil

1/2 tsp. Cumin seeds

1/2 tsp. turmeric

1 tsp. salt

1/4” Jalapeno diced (optional)

1/2 bunch of chopped cilantro

Heat the coconut oil and cumin seeds in a pan (I use an 11” or 12”ceramic coated saucepan) on medium heat until the cumin seeds start sizzling.

Add zucchini, turmeric and jalapeno and saute covered stirring as needed until zucchini is soft but not overdone.  Add the cilantro, cover and cook for a minute.

Add the cooked rice and salt.  Mix it well, lower the heat and cook covered until rice is heated evenly.
