Best Nutty Vegetable Rice Recipes

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!
