Delicious side dish that is easy to prep in advance of the dinner rush because it bakes over an hour and can be kept on warm until the rest of your meal is ready to serve. Note for ZWT #7 that rice and pine nuts are a typical part of Brazilian cuisine.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover rice. I also like to add some cooked chicken or tofu to make it a complete meal.

This casserole is a great make-ahead meal. I usually make it on the weekend and then reheat it for dinner during the week. It's also a great dish to take to potlucks or picnics.

I wasn't a big fan of this casserole. The flavors were bland and the texture was mushy. I think I'll stick to my usual rice and vegetable recipes.
