Introduction

Great as a casserole or as a side dish. The ginger and pepper give it a tiny kick. Great as a casserole or as a side dish. The ginger and pepper give it a tiny kick.

1/2 cup skim milk

1/4 cup parsley, chopped

1 cup mixed cheese

Directions

Heat oil over medium heat. Add in spices and carrots. Saute to mix flavors. Add in rice and water. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook 45 minutes until rice is done but firm.

When preparing for a party, make the rice and carrot mixture early on. Transfer to baking dish (a glass bread dish worked great for me). Mix in milk, parsley, and 1/2 cup cheese. About 20 minutes before serving, top with remaining cheese and bake the dish at 350 for 10-20 minutes. Time will vary depending on how cooled the original mixture got.
