Fresh and Easy - Tomato and Mushroom Rice


My husband and I had dinner at a neighbor's house this summer.  The family is from Ecuador and they prepared a very simple side: white rice with fresh avocado and tomato (peeled and diced).  It was so simple yet so delicious.  I highly recommend trying it.  This side inspired me the other evening when I was making tamales.  I wanted an easy side and I really didn't have much in the house to prepare.  Alas, I went into the cabinets and fridge and found some whole grain rice, fresh tomato and mushrooms.  While I steamed the rice, I sauteed the tomatoes and mushrooms in a little olive oil with some onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and ground ginger.  It was delicious, fresh and EASY!
