Now add the remaining vegetables - onion, zucchini, carrot, green pepper, red pepper, mushrooms and cook on a high flame while gently mixing. Cook until just done and it must retain its crunchiness. Season with salt and set aside.

To make the Lemon Coriander Rice.

Heat a wide pan with oil on medium flame, add in the onion and garlic cook until they turn soft. This will take about a minute or so.

Now Stir in the drained brown rice, lemon zest and coriander and gently mix. To this add the vegetable stock and bring it to a boil. Now add the lemon juice, cover and cook on simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the liquid has completely evaporated and the rice is well cooked. Let it sit for 10 mins and then gently fluff the rice with a fork. Set it aside.
