Nutty Vegetable Rice Casserole Recipes

ONE POT RICE AND VEGETABLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F).
• Add the oil to a large saucepan or oven-proof casserole dish, and add the red onion, aubergine, courgette, mushrooms, garlic and mixed herbs. Cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are fragrant and beginning to brown.
• If you used a saucepan that's not oven-proof, transfer to an oven-safe casserole dish. Add the rice, stock, tomatoes, beans, pesto, and plenty of black pepper. Mix well to combine.
• Add a lid to the pan (or cover tightly with foil, if you don't have a lid), and bake in the oven for around 30 minutes. The rice should be fairly soft. Stir the casserole well, then add the breadcrumbs and grated cheese to the top. Bake again, uncovered, for a further 20 minutes, or until the topping is crisped up to your liking.

VEGETABLE AND RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Measure 3 cups of dry instant rice and cook according to package instructions, set aside
• Combine onion, garlic, carrots, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large skillet
• Sautee for 10 - 15 minutes on medium high heat, until carrots start to soften and onions become translucent
• Add peas, broccoli, mushroom soup, 1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese, and 1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese to the skillet
• Stir on medium heat until heated through, about 10 - 12 minutes
• Add cooked rice and parsley to skillet and stir to combine
• Transfer mixture to a 13 x 9 casserole dish
• Top with remaining 1 cup of parmesan cheese and 1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese
• Bake for 10-15 minutes at 400 degrees, until cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown

NUTTY VEGETABLE RICE CASSEROLE

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!

• In large baking dish (we used 9x11x4), mix veggies, rice, whipping cream and sour cream. If you're using chicken, mix in the cooked chicken now.
• Arrange cheese pieces in a single layer on top of mixture.
• Place baking dish in oven set to 400 degrees and cook until cheese is melted.
• Remove dish and stir. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and place back in oven until cheese is melted.
• Remove from oven and serve.
