DIRECTIONS


In a saucepan bring 2 cups of water to a boil; add rice. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.


Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, bell pepper, zucchini, and yellow squash until onions are tender. Stir in the teriyaki sauce. When the vegetables are tender, stir in the cooked rice, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.


Place 1/4 of the rice and vegetables in each tortilla, and roll up.
From a nutritional standpoint, chickpeas are an excellent source of protein, proteins that are devoid of purines, and are therefore ideally suited to those who suffer from gout. With respect to other legumes they have a higher fat content, which makes them more caloric; they are therefore not what one wants during a diet. However, they are quite rich in calcium, making them a good choice for combating osteoporosis, are also rich in iron, and are an excellent source of fiber. They're instead sodium-poor, which makes them a good bet for those on reduced sodium diets.


Try a middle eastern vegie dish, Its called Falafel.


Falafel are Vegie patties, Ball shape, made from crushed chick peas and parsley, they sell it in kebab shops, try it and if you like it you can make it? http://mideastfood.about.com/od/maindish鈥?/a>


its probably easier to use the can of chick peas..


Falafel is usually wrapped in pita bread with salad, and you have it with tahini sauce (sesame sauce),


this is a recipe for Tahini sauce: http://mideastfood.about.com/od/dipsands鈥?/a>


After preparing the Falafel and the tahini sauce, this is how you prepare the Falafel sandwich using some salad ingredients.

Another great recipe is Tabouleh, Tabouleh is a salad like no other. Made with fresh veggies, olive oil and spices, it can be eaten in pita bread, scooped onto pita bread, or traditionally with a fork. Try this recipe for Tabouleh, http://mideastfood.about.com/od/soupssal鈥?/a>


Try make a hummus, Hummus is a dip/spread that is made from chickpeas. Local supermarkets often sell it in the fridge/ dip section, try making your own, http://mideastfood.about.com/od/appetize鈥?/a>


You can buy the Tahini in some supermarkets, if you dont like the tahini (sesame sauce) you can try the recipe without it:
