This recipe comes from my home away from home – my aunt and uncle’s apartment in New York City. It’s one of my favorite places in the world. I have so many happy memories filled with love, comfort, homemade food and meals shared sitting on the ground with my family around their large round coffee table. This recipe always brings me back to my place around that table.

Packed full of veggies it is perfect to make with whatever Finca veggies you have on hand.

– 1 cup Hummus (homemade or store bought)
– 3 cups cooked brown rice
– 2 cloves minced garlic
– 1 bunch kale*
– 1/2 cup chopped green beans*
– 1/4 cup shaved beets*
– 1/4 cup shaved radishes*
– 1/2 cup chopped carrots*
– 1 cup protein: marinated (of your choice) cooked seitan, tofu or choice of meat
– 2 tablespoon pesto (homemade or store bought)
– toasted sesame seeds for topping
– green onions for topping
– salt and pepper to taste

* I chose some of my favorite Finca vegetables but this recipe can be made with whatever
vegetables you have on hand. The variety of vegetables we grow in the fall will make for a delicious
stir fry.

  • Cook rice according to package instructions
  • Heat olive oil over medium heat
  • Sauté carrots and green beans until cooked.
  • Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
  • Add kale towards the end and cook until wilted.
  • Serve plated with a layer of hummus, rice, sautéed veggies, protein of choice, pesto, shaved beets
    and radishes, green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
  • Eat and enjoy

I am not known for my culinary talents and am a bit of a lazy chef so I look for recipes that I can easily incorporate seasonal veggies throughout the year.
