Downey's youngest son is coached in basketball and tennis, and the list goes further. It has formed a Little League. But his wife gives the food coach cap to Robert. He confesses that he spends much of his time with her wife Susan and the kids cooking.
The Oppenheimer star recently shared his kid-friendly recipe from Cool Food, a new book he co-authored about eating in climate-positive ways. He says that he and Susan often find themselves wearing the said cap these days. Robert and his wife are highly mindful in their home, and they make an effort to incorporate this mindfulness into the children's eating habits.
The recipe goes as follows,
Ingredients:
¼ cup uncooked brown rice
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
1 (8-oz.) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 medium Roma tomato, chopped
1 large scallion, thinly sliced
¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 red Fresno chile, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)
¾ tsp. kosher salt
4 (10-in.) whole-wheat flour tortillas
1 cup refried beans (from 1 [16-oz.] can)
1 medium avocado, sliced
4 oz. shredded vegan Cheddar cheese (about 1 cup)
After gathering the list, follow these steps:
You need to place a medium pot of water over high heat and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, add the brown rice, and simmer, stirring periodically, until the rice is cooked, about 20 minutes. After draining, run cold water to chill.
Next, combine lettuce, corn, tomato, scallion, cilantro, chile, lime juice, and salt, and leave it aside.
Place the tortillas, leaving a 1½-inch border around each, and top each with ¼ cup of refried beans. Over the beans, evenly distribute ¼ cup cooked rice; add the avocado and lettuce combination on top. Evenly distribute the cheese over each. Roll each tightly into a burrito, then cut each in half to serve.
