Method

1. Boil the brown rice in plenty of salted water following the package instructions, usually about 35-40 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, rehydrate the soy chunks in boiling water for 10 minutes, then squeeze them very well to remove excess liquid.
3. In a non-stick pan, sauté the garlic with half the oil, then add the diced tomatoes and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.
4. Add the soy chunks to the tomato sauce and simmer for another 5 minutes to let them absorb the flavors.
5. Drain the rice and toss it directly into the pan with the sauce, adding a splash of cooking water if needed.
6. Turn off the heat, add the fresh basil leaves torn by hand and the remaining extra virgin olive oil.
7. Mix well and serve hot with a crack of black pepper.

Tips

• Soy chunks provide a high protein boost that makes this simple rice dish a complete meal.
• Brown rice has a nutty flavor and stays firm, making this perfect for a meal-prep lunchbox.
