Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked brown rice
- 2 1/2 cups veggie stock, divided
- 3 cups broccoli florets (bite sized pieces)
- 1 cup fresh grated cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a rice cooker*, combine your brown rice and 2 cups of veggie stock. Season with salt, and cook on the brown rice setting until done.
- Meanwhile, add your broccoli to a large, microwave safe bowl and add about an inch of water
- Season lightly with salt and toss so that the broccoli is evenly seasoned
- Microwave broccoli until tender. My microwave took about 4 minutes for perfectly tender broccoli, but cook time may vary
- Remove broccoli from the oven and drain in a colander
- When your rice is done, heat a non stick skillet over medium high heat and add your rice, broccoli, 3/4 cups of the cheddar cheese, and the remaining 1/2 cup of veggie stock. Stir to fully combine
- Let this cook for a few minutes, stirring often, until the cheese has melted
- Season to taste with salt and pepper
- Turn your oven onto broil, sprinkle the remaining cheese over top of the skillet, and bake until the cheese has melted fully
- If you don’t have a rice cooker, just cook the brown rice according to package instructions!
