how2heroes is proud to collaborate with Jody Adams, the American Heart Association, Go Red For Women and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care on this heart healthy recipe. An easy recipe that's loaded with vegetables, color, fragrance and texture. Creative as always, Jody starts with a sofrito of aromatics and builds upon that base. You even fluff the final result just as you would rice. Who knew cereal grains had this potential?
