Dijon Rice with Broccoli

Posted on November 20, 2016 by vanessa

• 1 cup cooked brown rice
• 2 cups broccoli florets, fresh or frozen
• 2 to 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 ½ teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
• ¼ to ½ teaspoon hot sauce
• Agave nectar or sugar, to taste (optional)

1. Steam broccoli or, if frozen, microwave as directed.
2. Meanwhile, whisk 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard, low-sodium soy sauce and hot sauce together.
3. Taste, adding more hot sauce and Dijon mustard if needed. (Chef Lindsay Nixon says she usually adds up to 1 1/2 teaspoons of hot sauce and 3 to 4 teaspoons of Dijon.) If the Dijon is too strong for your liking, add a few drops of agave nectar or a pinch of sugar to help cut the bite.
4. Mix with cooked rice (if using leftover rice, add a splash of broth or water before reheating it).
5. Then mix in cooked broccoli, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
