Ingredients
brown rice, dry, 1.5 cups, preferably long grain water, 1.5 cups milk, 1 cup garlic/onion/shallot/fennel mix- chopped, 1 cup total salt/pepper/seasonings to taste 1 bunch fresh dill, chopped - 1/3 reserved for topping olive oil, 1 tbsp parmesan cheese, shredded or grated, 2 tbsp heavy duty aluminum foil large casserole dish
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Add olive oil to casserole dish*, smearing so that the pan is fully greased.
Combine water and milk mixture and bring to a simmer either on the stove or in the microwave, being careful not to let the mixture boil.
While the water/milk mixture is heating, combine rice, salt, onion/garlic/fennel, most of the dill and the butter in a casserole dish.
Pour boiling water over rice, cover with a double layer of foil.
Bake for 60 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle cheese on top, turn oven temperature to broil, and put back in oven 'til all the cheese has melted and the topping is lightly browned (this takes about about 5 minutes in my oven).
Sprinkle with remaining fresh dill. Serve.
Makes 4 1-cup servings.
*For the casserole dish, make sure the one you're using holds at least 4 cups or it'll spill out. Any of the following will do;
1 (8 x 4)-inch loaf pan, or
1 (9-inch) round cake pan, or
1 (9-inch) pie plate.
Enjoy!
