Asparagus and Summer Veggies with Rice

5/21/2014 0 Comments
 
This meal is like having salsa in a skillet with lime infused asparagus on top of a bed of rice. The flavor is sensational, the meal is satisfying and it leaves your body feeling invigorated from all the spices and vitamin C!
​

Take some some rice and place it in the rice cooker and press go! What a great invention, I love our rice cooker! Then take some nopales cactus, 1/2 of a white onion, 4 serrano peppers, 2 tomatoes, a handful of fresh cilantro, 4 cloves of garlic, 1/2 can of black olives, 1 lime and saute them together in a wok. Seasoned with cumin, salt, pepper, garlic powder and red pepper flakes. Meanwhile, saute the asparagus in olive oil, the juice of 1 lime, salt and pepper. Cook until heated throughout. Place a bed of rice in a bowl, top with the Summer Veggie mixture and surround with Asparagus. Mama mia!
