I don’t know about you, but for me, one of the things that always got in the way of eating healthfully is time. After a long work or school day, the last thing I ever wanted to do was cook — and instead, I was one to just grab what was easiest from either our freezer or a local restaurant. We made this rice cooker meal to help with that!

This recipe will help you to:

• save time– you’ll have 6 servings made in just 35 minutes!
• save money– this is made with budget-friendly ingredients!
• save dishes–  it requires just one pot!

If anyone is interested in our rice cooker, it is from the brand Vita Clay. This post is not a sponsored post but we did get sent a cooker to try out and we have had great results with it and would highly recommend it! It is not only a rice cooker but it also a slow cooker, digital steamer, and yogurt maker. You can use the code “vegan10” for a discount 🙂

This recipe is made in conjunction with our healthy eating challenge we are doing for the month of January– have you joined along? It is never too late to join, and we encourage you to join our facebook group as it as made this month of healthy eating so much easier with a supportive community! It’s been such a fun experience to see everyone’s delicious meals on #SSVhealthy 2018 🙂 Looking for more one-pot recipes? Check out these other recipes on the blog:

Ingredients

• 2 cups uncooked Jasmine brown rice, thoroughly rinsed
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 (16 oz.) can diced tomatoes
• 1 (15.5 oz.) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed

• 1/2 cup red onions, minced
• 1 rib celery, chopped (about 1/3 cup)
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Add all of the ingredients into your rice cooker pot and mix thoroughly until uniform. Cover and set it to cook on the “brown rice” setting (about 25-30 minutes).
2. Remove lid and allow the rice to cool for 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Serve with a wedge of lime and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Notes

• Stovetop option: Add all of the ingredients (except for the salt and pepper) into a large pot, mix thoroughly and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cover. Cook until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid, about 25-30 minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a wedge of lime and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
