Spinach Brown Rice Casserole
1 large onion
1 huge bunch of fresh spinach
1/3 cup olive oil
1 28 oz can stewed tomato (or the ones you froze from last year?)
2 cloves garlic
4 cups cooked brown rice
1 cup of your favorite cheese, shredded.
Mince the garlic cloves (or open that jar!). Wash the spinach, and shake
it, but leave it a little wet. If you don't like the stems, remove them
and save for vegetable broth.
Heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium-low heat. Add the minced
garlic and onions until the onions are tender and transparent. Add the
spinach to the garlic/onion/oil, and cover the skillet. Stir every minute
or so. After 3 minutes or so, stir in the cooked rice, tomatoes, most
of the cheese, and your favorite seasonings. If desired, add salt and/or
pepper to taste.
Stir the mixture into a baking
dish and cook for 30-40 minutes uncovered at 350. Sprinkle remaining cheese
over the top.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
