Rice Romanoff

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Serving size: 4.

 

3 cups water

1 teaspoon salt, divided

1 & 1/2 cups long-grain white rice

2 cups cottage cheese

2 or 3 cloves garlic

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

3 green onions, trimmed

1 cup grated cheddar cheese, divided

 

1) Bring water to a boil, adding 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add rice, stir

once, then cover and reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 18

minutes, or until water is absorbed and rice is tender.

2) Meanwhile, place the cottage cheese, garlic, pepper, and remaining

1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender, and blend until smooth.

3) Mince the green onions, and add them to the blender mixture.

4) Combine cooked rice, cottage cheese mixture, and 1/4 cup cheddar

cheese in the pot the rice was cooked in or in a bowl.

5) Grease an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish. Pour in rice mixture and

scatter remaining 3/4 cup cheddar on top.

 

Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 20 minutes or until the casserole is

heated through and cheese bubbles.

 

TIP: after done making this dish and doing the cleanup, put some soapy

water in the blender, and blend. This will help get off cheese

left over insice the blender, and it will make cleaning the

blender much easier!
