This recipe was born one night when I didn't have too much to do. I guess the only surprise about it is that it tastes so good! Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 onion, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic |
1 cup uncooked instant brown rice |
1 cup vegetable broth |
1 pound fresh broccoli florets |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place walnuts on small baking sheet, and bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until toasted.
2. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic in melted butter for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the rice, add the broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 7 to 8 minutes.
3. Place broccoli in a microwave-safe casserole dish, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover, and microwave until tender.
4. Spoon rice onto a serving platter, and top with broccoli. Sprinkle walnuts and cheese on top.
