01
Step 1
Start by pouring the vegetable broth, chicken broth, and pineapple juice into a large saucepan and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once it’s boiling, add the brown rice, raisins, turmeric, and cumin. Give everything a good stir and let it come back to a boil. Then, turn the heat down to medium-low, cover the pan, and let it simmer until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 10 minutes.

Step 2
While the rice is cooking, heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, zucchini, mushrooms, and both the red and yellow peppers. Cook and stir for around 5 minutes until the veggies have softened nicely.

Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, another tablespoon of oil, lemon juice, grated ginger, and some black pepper. Once the vegetables are ready, stir the honey mixture and the cooked veggies into the rice. Add the pineapple chunks as well, then heat everything through until it’s warmed up and bubbling. Serve it straight away and enjoy!
