Ingredients

  • 2 cups vegetable broth

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • cup pineapple juice

  • 2 ½ cups instant brown rice

  • cup raisins

  • 2 tablespoons ground turmeric

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1 zucchini, chopped

  • ½ cup chopped fresh mushrooms

  • ½ red bell pepper, chopped

  • ½ yellow bell pepper, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • ¼ cup lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root

  • 1 pinch ground black pepper

  • ½ fresh pineapple - peeled, cored and chopped

Directions

  1. Pour the vegetable broth, chicken broth, and pineapple juice into a large saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the brown rice, raisins, turmeric, and cumin, bring back to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, about 10 minutes.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onion, zucchini, mushrooms, red and yellow pepper for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables have softened.

  3. While the vegetables are cooking, stir together honey, 1 tablespoon of oil, lemon juice, ginger, and black pepper in a bowl. Stir honey mixture, cooked vegetables, and pineapple into the cooked rice, bring the mixture back to a boil, and serve hot.
