Nutritional values

The parboiling process means that up to 80 percent of the nutrients remain in the rice - so the grain can easily keep up with the nutritional content of brown rice. Parsley contributes to balanced digestion with its essential oils.

Vegetarians can also enjoy the dish: Instead of minced meat, you can then use soy cutlets.

Preparation steps

1.

Halve the bell pepper, remove the seeds, wash and cut into cubes. Peel and finely chop onion and garlic. Drain corn (if canned) and beans, rinse and drain. Cut chili pepper in half lengthwise, remove seeds, wash and chop. Wash limes, squeeze juice from 1 fruit, cut the other into wedges and set aside.

Mix in rice, bell bell pepper, beans and corn, pour in broth and season with salt, bell pepper, paprika powder and lime juice. Bring to a boil and cook, covered, over low heat for 20 minutes.

3.

Meanwhile, wash parsley, shake dry and pluck off leaves. Halve the avocado, remove the stone, lift the flesh from the skin and cut into wedges.

4.

Season to taste. Drizzle with yogurt, top with avocado wedges, parsley leaves and lime wedges and serve.
