Protein-Fortified Rice

“Vegetarian bodybuilder” is an oxymoron to some - although some vegetarians have been able to attain impressive physiques. One of the best-known vegetarian bodybuilder was Bill Pearl, whose book, “Keys to the Inner Universe” is considered a classic. Even if you’re not a vegetarian, however, meatless recipes can be staples in your culinary repertoire. Vegetarian recipes are frequently innovative, and feature an array of whole foods that are often missing from obsessively-meat centered diets.

Ingredients 

• 1/2 c. (50 g) raw broccoli, chopped or diced 
• 1 small stalk (25 g) of raw celery, diced 
• 6 egg whites 
• 1 c. (100 g) sliced raw mushrooms 
• 1/4 c. long-grain, raw, brown rice 
• 1/3 c. water or broth 
• 1/4 c. pace chunky salsa
• 2 tbsp. lite soy sauce
• 1 c. raw spinach 
• 1/3 c. (50 g) grams raw onion, chopped 
• salt to taste 

Directions 

Lightly steam the broccoli to a crisp-tender texture. In a pan coated with cooking spray, add soy sauce, chopped onion, sliced mushrooms, steamed broccoli, chopped celery and spinach. Cook on medium heat until spinach is cooked. Add water/broth, soy sauce and rice and simmer until liquid has cooked away. Once all the ingredients are cooked add in the 6 egg whites and stir until the eggs are completely cooked. Top with salsa. This makes a very large meal for one. Or can be split and served with a side dish.
