🥘 Ingredients

15 items

• 1 cup Long-grain jasmine rice
• 2 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium Zucchini, diced
• 1 cup Broccoli florets
• 1 pound Cooked lump crab meat

• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium-sized pot, bring the 2 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil.

2. Add the jasmine rice to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is fully absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

3. In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

4. Add the diced red bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still bright and slightly crisp.

5. Gently fold in the cooked crab meat and cherry tomatoes. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the crab is heated through and the tomatoes soften slightly.

6. Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with black pepper to taste.

7. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley. If desired, top with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.

8. Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy this colorful and flavorful Crab Rice Primavera.
