Rice with Assorted Vegetables & Crushed Garlic in Stone Pot

"3 Less" and "More Fruit and Vegetables" Dish

Feature

Mushrooms belong to the vegetable group. They are rich in dietary fibre, and yet distinct from other leafy vegetables for their taste and texture. The mushrooms and sweet peppers (in three colours) give this rice in stone pot extra sensation.
