Brown Rice And Goat Cheese Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9 by 13-inch glass baking dish. Set aside.
• Remove the thick stem from the center of each chard leaf. Cut each leaf in half lengthwise. Trim the ends from the leaves to make each leaf-half about 7 inches long and 5 inches wide. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the chard leaves and cook for 10 seconds. Remove the leaves and rinse with cold water. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
• For the filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the brown rice, arugula, goat cheese, lentils, mint, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and garlic. Season with additional salt and pepper.
• Spoon 1/3 cup of the filling onto the end of each chard leaf and roll up like a jellyroll.
• Spoon 1 cup marinara sauce on the bottom of the prepared pan. Arrange the rolls, seam-side down, in a single layer on top of the sauce. Spoon the remaining sauce on top and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Drizzle with olive oil or dot the top with butter, if using, and bake until the cheese begins to brown and the rolls are heated through, about 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve.

Steps:

• Bring rice and water to boil in medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer undil water is absorbed and the rice is tender, 30 - 50 minute Remove from heat and let stand covered for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until soft, stirring often. Add carrots, reduce heat to low, and cook stirring often until carrots have softened and shallots are lightly browned. Remove from heat.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Transfer the cooked vegetables and rice to a large food processor. Add remaining ingredients. Pulse until well blended but still a little coarse. Scrape into a bowl, and with wet hands form the mixture into six 3 inch patties (about 1/2 cup each).
• Heat remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add patties and cook until well browned, 3 to 4 min per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until an instant read thermometer inserted into the middle registers at least 160 degrees, 10 to 15 minutes.
• My family likes them best topped with a bit of fruit sauce made from jam (raspberry, apricot, cherry) thinned with a bit of balsamic vinegar and maybe a hint of dijon mustard depending on your tastes. Sounds a bit odd but it is good. But they are also good on their own.

Steps:

• Combine the rice, 4 cups water and 1 tablespoon of salt in a large saucepan, cover and bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the grains open all the way, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. The rice should be very cooked (not even the slightest chewy). Drain well, place in a large bowl and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 13x9x2 -inch baking dish.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium saute pan over high heat. Add the chorizo and cook until golden brown. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Melt the remaining butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots and celery and cook until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the onion mixture, bread, parsley, 3 cups of the chicken stock and the egg to the rice and mix well to combine. The mixture should be very wet; add more stock, if needed. Fold in the goat cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and bake, uncovered, until heated through and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove the dressing from the oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the crust:
• Stir all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. Butter a 9-inch springform pan. Press the crumb mixture onto the bottom and about halfway up the sides of the pan.
• To make the filling:
• Beat the cream and goat cheeses in the bowl of an electric stand mixer with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add the creme fraiche and beat to combine. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each egg is added, until thoroughly combined. Beat in the sugar and vanilla until just combined.
• Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Put on a baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through the cooking process. If the cheesecake starts to color, tent the springform pan with aluminum foil.
• Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely before serving, as it continues to set as it cools. It is best to refrigerate overnight before serving. Cut the cake into wedges and serve with Vanilla Pineapple Compote.
• Say cheesecake!
• Combine the brown sugar, water, rum, and vanilla beans in a saucepan over medium heat. Squeeze the lemon juice into the pan and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, add the pineapple and stir until well mixed. Simmer until the liquid has reduced to a syrupy consistency and the pineapple is soft.
• Let cool and serve as an accoutrement to yummy desserts like goat cheese cheesecake!
