A simple, but delightful meal for the most discerning of tastes. Well tolerated by my IBD.

Sweet smelling Jasmine rice, gently boiled infused with steamed broccoli and fresh picked herbs from the kitchen garden - awesome, healthy meal for me. My IBD has no problem with this dish, although it may create a bit of gas for some folks.
