About

Like most people, I first stir-fried grains with classic Chinese fried rice. Then I realized I could expand to other types of rice and, heck, even other grains! Flavors can be anything from Indian to Italian to ... whatever you want. But let’s just leave it on Italian for now. Fava beans often come frozen because they taste best that way. Just thaw them first. But don’t worry if you forget—this recipe will just take a little longer to cook.

This tasted really good and was a great way to use some kale that I had in my veggie box. I had made my own pesto so I was glad I could use it in this recipe. The texture of black rice accompanied the vegetables well. This was a healthy filling meal and a recipe that I will use again when I have more kale. 😊
