This is a Pinterest share from a dear friend and former roommate, Susan O. I will add this to the list of GREAT recipes she has shared over the years! Thanks <3 I made this for dinner tonight and will get to have some for lunch tomorrow too. Yield: Serves 4-6 as a side dish
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 medium or 2 small zucchini, grated on a box grater or with a food processor (no need to peel beforehand)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1-2 tablespoons milk, if needed
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the
rice and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and
let the rice simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the
liquid has been absorbed.
2. Remove the rice from the heat and
stir in the grated zucchini, cheese, and garlic powder. Add salt and pepper to
taste (don't skip this step - I needed at least 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of salt to
boost the flavor). Add a tablespoon or so of milk to adjust the texture if
needed. Serve warm.
