Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice uncooked
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 yellow onion diced, large
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 broccoli chopped into florets (3 cups, large crown
- 2 cups carrot chopped
- 1 coconut milk 15-ounce can; full-fat
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour gluten-free
- 2 Tbsp cider vinegar
- 1 tsp salt to taste, sea salt
- 1 peas 10-ounce bag; frozen
- 3 cups Parmesan Cheese grated
- 3 cups Colby jack cheese grated
Instructions
- Cook the brown rice according to package instructions. Note: if you have broth on hand, cooking the brown rice in broth instead of water will give it a nice flavor. Set aside until ready to use.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the avocado oil to a large skillet or pot and heat to medium-high. Add the onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to turn translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the carrots, cover, and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until carrots begin to soften.
- Add the garlic and broccoli. Cover and cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until the broccoli is soft but still slightly al dente.
- Add the coconut milk, flour, cider vinegar, and sea salt, stir well and bring to a full boil. Stir in the frozen peas and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the parmesan cheese. Until combined.
- Transfer the rice to a 13” x 9” casserole dish.
- Pour the vegetable sauce mixture over the rice and stir well until everything is well-combined.
- Sprinkle the vegetables and rice with grated colby jack cheese and bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
- Serve the vegetable and brown rice casserole with your main dish and enjoy!
