I really love, love, love this recipe – it’s so tasty! It’s great to take to a shared meal and can be served warm or cold. It can be used as a side or as a meal by filling lettuce cups or cabbage leaves along with extra veggies and shredded chicken or chickpeas. The brown rice is full of vitamin B, one of the six essential skin nutrients needed for skin health.
