Ingredients

This recipe was developed with its original yield. Ingredient amounts are automatically adjusted, but cooking times and steps remain unchanged. Note that not all recipes scale perfectly.

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings:

• 2 cups water
• 1 cup brown rice
• 3 cups frozen green beans
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
• 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese, or to taste
• 1 pinch ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

Step 1: Bring water and brown rice to a boil in a saucepan. Cook the rice until it has softened, which should take about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the rice once it's done.

Step 2: Place a steamer insert into a separate saucepan, ensuring that the water level is just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, add the green beans, cover the saucepan, and steam until the beans are tender. This should take between 2 to 6 minutes.

Step 3: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sauté the steamed green beans and the cooked brown rice in the oil until lightly crisped, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 4: Stir in crumbled feta cheese, drizzle a little more olive oil over the mixture, and season with black pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!
