Baked Brown Rice And Edamame
Baked Brown Rice And Edamame
The sesame oil makes all the difference in this healthy side dish—it imparts a toasted flavor that really elevates the rice. If you don't have carrots, swap them out for another favorite vegetable, such as peas.This recipe is from "Kosher By Design Lightens Up: Fabulous Food for a Healthier Lifestyle" by Susie Fishbein (Mesorah Publications Ltd., 2008) and was originally published in the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
