Breakfast, lunch or dinner, this is a great way to use leftovers. If you have brown rice and a few veggies on hand, it’s a nutritious 5-minute meal. Start with 2 cups brown rice, preferably sprouted. Add lightly sautéed veggies, and top with avocado. Egg and meat are optional. Sprouted rice is tastier and supercharged with living nutrients. As a grain, rice isn’t considered Paleo. If you want to follow Paleo by the book, you can substitute quinoa or buckwheat, which are not grains. This makes 2 servings!
