Health and fertility benefits of Orange Rice
Brown rice is a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity. Basil is an excellent stress reliever, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups short-grain brown rice
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 oranges
1 small red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint or basil
12 oil-cured dry black olives, pitted
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Combine the rice, salt, and 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes. Meanwhile, grate 1 tablespoon peel from one of the oranges. Then cut off the remaining peel from both oranges and cut into sections. Cut the onion into thin slivers. When rice is tender and the water is absorbed, fold in the 1 tablespoon of peel, the orange sections, onion, mint, olives, and olive oil. Season to taste with additional salt if necessary.
