Instructions
- Heat olive oil and butter in a heavy bottomed pan or dutch oven.
- Saute the onions and garlic till the onions are translucent.
- Add the rice and saute it for 2-3 minutes. Once the rice is toasted, add the flour and saute it for a minute.
- Pour the milk in slowly while whisking continuously till the sauce thickens. Pour in the broth, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring this to boil and then turn it down to medium low and cover and cook for 15-20 minutes till the rice is almost cooked.
- Add the broccoli and gently stir it around. Cover again and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in 1 cup cheese and mix it up. Top with the remaining cheese and cover the lid. Allow the cheese to melt and then serve hot. Alternatively, you can add the cheese on top and broil it in the oven for a few minutes to brown it.
