Dijon Rice With Broccoli

(from renee0467’s recipe box)

Dijon mustard and broccoli complement each other beautifully and come together to jazz up a side of rice. Since all Dijon mustards and hot sauces are a little different, this recipe is very much “to taste.”

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, fresh or frozen
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
  • Agave nectar or sugar, to taste (optional)

Directions

  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.
