A few weeks ago I was in search of some meatless recipes to add to our meal list in order to reduce the amount of meat we were eating- mainly due to cost. I asked on Facebook for suggestions and my friend Kate suggested this recipe upon others. I added in zucchini, left out scallions (forgot to grab some), left out bay leaf, and used a whole small onion. I also went light on the spices because my family is not crazy about spicy food.

Add chopped veggies to hot oil in a skillet or large pot. Saute until soft. Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower heat and cover. Simmer about 15 minutes, stirring. Serve over rice.
Cilantro Lime Rice

My son and husband added soy sauce to theirs and I tried it both ways- very good and adding it to our meal list!
