INSTRUCTIONS
Feast for the eyes! There is something very pleasing both to the eye and the palate about a mixture of green vegetables and rice. All the grains should cook in the same amount of time (30 to 40 minutes). Adjust cooking time for grains if necessary. Add extra crunch by mixing the parsley with wheatgerm or bran buds before using as directed. Trim the green beans of stems and marks. Cut once lengthwise (optional) and cut into 1-inch lengths or slightly longer. Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan, and saute the vegetables for 5 minutes. Add the spices, nuts, and rices and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the soy sauce and broth, bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed and the grains are fully cooked: from 30 to 40 minutes depending on the combination of grains you have chosen. Stir in the yogurt or cream, and half the parsley. Add pepper, adjust salt. Transfer to a warmed serving dish, sprinkle with remaining parsley, and serve.
