Recipe: Jasmine Rice Timbales

JASMINE RICE TIMBALES

1 1/2 cups uncooked jasmine rice, rinsed
3 cups chicken broth, low-fat, low-sodium
2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
nonstick cooking spray
2 tbsp finely minced red bell pepper
1 tbsp finely minced green onions

Place the rice and broth in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Add the sesame seeds.

Top the rice timbales evenly with red bell pepper and green onions.
