Browning this delicious grain gives it a "nuttier" taste. Coupled with the sauteed veggies creates the yummiest healthy food ever!!! It's great as this basic recipe. But then you can also throw some fresh spinach, snow peas, shaved carrrot, really most any veggie and let them slightly wilt. And for those lucky enough not to have to watch the sodium and cholesterol, a tad of cheese on top is heavenly.
