Tips

A sprinkling of toasted pumpkin seeds adds a wonderful crunch and flavor to this dish. I use 1/2oz per serving, which isn't included in the recipe ingredients.


Directions

Cook the rice.
While rice cooks, water-saute the carrots, celery, garlic, and white parts of the scallions (all thinly-sliced) for a few minutes. Stir in the corn and greens (julienned). Add a bit more water and cover. Let cook 5 - 10 minutes. Add beans and rice. Cover and let cook another 5 - 10 minutes. When the vegetables are done to your liking, add the lemon juice, vinegar, dill and parsley. Season to taste with salt and freshly-ground pepper.
