Nutty Vegetable Rice Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Spread the rice into a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Layer with zucchini, yellow squash, onion and half of the basil; top with green pepper, celery and tomatoes. Combine the brown sugar, salt and pepper; sprinkle over vegetables. Drizzle with oil. Cover and bake at 350° for 1 hour or until tender. Sprinkle with remaining basil.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. Soak rice in water for ten minutes (in the pot you will cook it in).
• While rice soaks, mix almond butter and milk throroughly in a small bowl. Set aside. Begin to chop carrots, onion, garlic and ginger.
• Drain and rinse rice, and add fresh water. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer on medium-low for eight minutes.
• While rice cooks, saute carrots, onion, garlic and ginger in a pan with olive oil until they begin to be tender. While these are cooking, stir occasionally and chop beet greens into bite-size pieces.
• When rice is cooked, turn off heat and let stand, covered, for ten minutes.
• While rice stands, add beet greens to vegetable saute and cook until just tender. I prefer not to overcook these so you still have a variety of textures in the casserole and it doesn't turn into a "blob".
• When rice has stood for ten minutes, remove lid, add almond butter and milk mixture, and stir thoroughly. Add vegetable saute mixture and stir thoroughly.
• Pour mixture (should be very thick) into a medium casserole and top with paprika and a bit of salt.
• Cook at 375 for ten minutes, covered. Enjoy!
