This is one of my least fussy- throw it together and go Sunday Supper Recipes. Here is the thing, you can make almost any substitutions at all to this recipe. Got leftover broccoli? Throw it in. Love chicken or salmon? Throw it in. It truly is that kind of recipe that is so easy to prepare, yet filled with nutritious ingredients when you add beans and veggies. This recipe for White Bean, Corn, Tomato and Rice Skillet has become a staple almost every time we have leftover Portuguese Rice. And we almost always have Portuguese Rice in our refrigerator. It’s a Portuguese thing.
You can make this recipe even healthier by using brown rice. I do it all the time and it is just fantastic.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1 cup cooked corn, frozen or fresh
- 1 15 ounce can of white beans
- 2 tablespoons ponzu sauce
- 2 cups of your favorite cooked rice, I used Portuguese Rice
- 4 green onions, chopped
- fresh ground sea salt and pepper to taste
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil on medium high
- Add the grape tomatoes, corn and white beans and sauté for approximately 5 minutes
- Add the ponzu sauce and stir for another minute
- Stir in the rice and when well mixed, cover for another 5 minutes
- Sprinkle with green onions
- I love to serve it right in the skillet so that it stays nice and warm

February 15, 2015 at 6:46 amI’ve never thought to add ponzu sauce to a rice dish – what a great idea to bring in a little brightness and flavor too.

February 16, 2015 at 1:08 pmI wanted to make this dish today,but our local food store don’t carry ponzu sauce.:( Can I substitute with something else?
FamilyFoodie
February 17, 2015 at 7:44 pmHi Erika! When I don’t have ponzu, I combine soy sauce with lemon juice and a tad of honey. It works really well too.

Sarah Reid
