Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
  • 1 cup of uncooked brown rice
  • 2 cups of vegetable broth
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 cups of chopped vegetables (such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and peas)
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon of dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

Equipment

For this recipe, you will need the following equipment:
  • A large pot with a lid
  • A large skillet
  • A baking dish
  • A mixing bowl
  • A wooden spoon or spatula

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Start by cooking the rice. In a large pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the rice and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Cook for about 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.
  3. While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the chopped vegetables, thyme, basil, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice and vegetables. Stir well to combine.
  5. Transfer the rice and vegetable mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  6. Bake the dish in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
