Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 3 carrots cut into small dice
- 1.5 cups long-grain rice uncooked (i used basmati)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 large head of broccoli cut into florets of equal size
- ½ - 1 cup melty cheese (Swiss, Cheddar, or Gruyere)
- 2.25 cups vegetable stock chicken stock works too
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup breadcrumbs (gluten-free for gluten-free diet)
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- fresh thyme optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and carrots for a couple of minutes until tender and translucent.
- Add sauteed onions and carrots, rice, and lemon zest to a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and stir to combine. Add broccoli florets on top of rice and vegetables. Sprinkle with melty cheese. Set aside.
- In a bowl whisk vegetable stock with sour cream and season with garlic, salt and pepper until well combined.
- Pour stock over the rice and vegetables, then use a spatula to submerge broccoli in the liquid.
- Combine shredded Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs, and sprinkle everything with the mixture. Cover loosely the baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 15 minutes covered, then remove the foil and broil for 5 minutes for the cheese to brown.
- Sprinkle with a little fresh thyme if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- Use white rice for this recipe. Brown or wild rice will require a longer cooking time and your broccoli will be over cooked.
- If making ahead of time, ensure that the casserole is cooled before storing it.
- You can use fresh or frozen broccoli in this recipe.
