Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
Combine the rice and stock in a heavy-bottomed pot and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook rice a total of 17 minutes, until liquid has been absorbed and rice is tender.
Step 2
Chop the whole onion. Heat a nonstick pan large enough to hold the remaining ingredients until it is very hot. Reduce heat to medium-high and add oil. Saute the onion until it begins to soften and brown.
Step 3
Wash, trim and quarter brussels sprouts; add to the onion; reduce heat to low, then cover and cook for about 5 minutes, until the sprouts are tender but still firm and green.
Step 4
Meanwhile, rinse and julienne the red peppers. Stir into the vegetable mixture along with the hot red-pepper flakes.
Step 5
When rice is cooked, stir into vegetables and season with salt.
