Sauté freshly chopped garlic in a tad of your best EVOO, in whatever pot you'll be cooking rice. Add water and rinsed rice; I used red jasmine today. Steam till almost done. Add roughly chopped raw veggies - carrot peels, broccoli and spinach here. Cover and steam the whole shebang for a few more minutes... veggies should remain with lots of bite, as they'll be further cooked.
Meanwhile, char the peppers. These were huge; so I split them before popping under broiler. To finish, peel and then press into large, Pam-sprayed ramekins.
After tossing rice/veggie mix together, pile some into each ramekin. Poke a half wedge of Laughing Cow Light onto each portion; grind on pepper; spray once again with Pam. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes and serve hot.To Note: Tops will crisp - that is, including rice. If you prefer it to stay soft, loosely cover with foil, before baking.
Buon Appetito
