BROCCOLI & RICE GRATIN



Broccoli & Rice Gratin image

Creamy baked rice and broccoli, an easy delicious side dish or light lunch with a salad and sliced tomatoes! My DD will only eat rice if cooked like this (or chinese) it is really easy, and tastes great! Good re-heated too! I have also used spinach or 1 cup of frozen peas instead of the broccoli. I think this came from a milk calander.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality rice. A medium-grain rice like Arborio or Carnaroli will give you the best results. These rices have a high starch content, which helps to create a creamy sauce.
  • Cook the rice until al dente. You want the rice to be slightly firm to the bite, as it will continue to cook in the oven.
  • Use a flavorful cheese. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give you the best flavor. You can also use a combination of cheeses, such as Parmesan and mozzarella.
  • Don't overcook the gratin. The rice should be heated through, but it should still be slightly firm. Overcooked rice will be mushy.
  • Serve the gratin immediately. Rice au gratin is best served hot out of the oven. It can be reheated, but it will not be as good.

Conclusion:

Rice au gratin is an easy and delicious dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It's a great way to use up leftover rice, and it can be served as a main course or a side dish. With its creamy sauce and cheesy topping, rice au gratin is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
