Are you looking for healthy vegetarian dinner options? Following is a recipe for Jasmine Rice, Sesame Ginger Jackfruit, and roasted cauliflower and butternut squash with LiteHouse spices. This dinner recipe takes about 40 minutes.
Recently, my family enjoyed a delicious vegetarian meal that was was tastefully enhanced by Litehouse Foods’ herbs. If you have ever used fresh herbs than you know they provide a much more powerful taste than spices that can sit in your cabinets for months. Litehouse Foods found a way not to sacrifice taste and still give their customers tasty herbs that have a longer shelf life.
Jasmine Rice can prepared according to the package. Rinse the rice and drain out the water. For ever 1 cup of rice you plan to prepare, boil 2 cups of water. Once the water comes to a boil, then let the rice simmer on low for 10 to 20 minutes until your desired tenderness.
Litehouse herbs can be found at many local grocery stores and Super-center Walmart stores. I found the pictured organic jackfruit at Moms Organic Market.
To make the sautéed jackfruit, I sliced celery and carrots, added Litehouse garlic and herbs to increase the flavor, and more sesame seeds. Added more herbs and vegetable really helped me stretch the meal so it could feed a family of four.
Roasted butternut squash and cauliflower
Also, paired with the meal was roasted cauliflower and butternut squash with Litehouse Foods’ sage. The roasted vegetables tasted so good. See below for my roasted sage butternut squash and cauliflower recipe.
