Sweet and Sour Brown Rice with Green Apple

Yeah it's a long name but it is a really great side dish. It packs a lot of flavor and goes well with seafood or chicken. You can also make this a main dish by adding a little roasted tofu or chicken.

This recipe serves 4

2 cups brown rice
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons lime zest
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger

Juice from 1/2 lime
Cook the rice according to directions.

Once it's cooked, in a small bowl whisk together the brown sugar, vinegar, lime zest, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Stir in with the warm rice.

Once you've diced your apple, pour on the lime juice and stir together. Add the apples to the rice and you're ready to serve.
