Broccoli, mushrooms & rice

Broccoli and zucchini are hard for me to eat raw and I usually don't like mushrooms at all. But I absolutely love this dish!

Broccoli, mushrooms & rice

Ready for the secret? 

Marinate the veggies (broccoli, mushrooms, and I really like adding zucchini although not necessary)! Slice them and stick in a plastic zip lock bag with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and organic gluten-free Tamari (a natural soy sauce used for flavor in lots of raw foods). You only need to marinate for 15 minutes to taste a huge difference. (Make sure to rub the marinade around into the veggies after closing the zip lock bag, so it gets into all parts of the broccoli especially.)

Then mix with cooked brown rice and enjoy! 

(Note: The rice should be warm, while the veggies will be cool. Sounds weird, since you are probably used to a warm meal, but the amazing nutrients you will be getting from the raw foods cancels out any weirdness and makes it tastes great!)
