I needed something with a lot of flavor, and started grabbing things from the pantry. I've made this a few times and enjoy it. You can mix things up as you want, substituting whatever vegetables you have on hand. Once I added a couple of chopped grape tomatoes to the onion and mushroom mixture and continued to cook over med-low heat until the tomatoes began to carmelize and it was delicious
1 tsp olive oil
1 portabello mushroom, chopped
1/4 cup chopped onions
2 sun-dried tomatoes, minced (rehydrated if using plain dried, or wipe away excess oil if using oil-packed)
1/4 tsp minced garlic
handful of chopped fresh spinach
1 cup cooked brown rice
a few dashes of dried basil, or finely minced fresh basil
balsamic vinegar to taste
Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onions and stir until onions start to become translucent. Add the minced garlic and stir for another minute or so. Add basil, sun-dried tomatoes, and chopped fresh spinach. Stir until spinach begins to wilt. Add the cooked brown rice and stir well until heated through. Add balsamic vinegar to taste.
