Ingredients
- Quick cook brown rice (approx 3 cups for 6 servings of 2/3 cup each)
- 8 oz. frozen Brussels sprouts
- 3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper
- Approx. 1 1/2 Tbsp. butter or margarine
Directions
Prepare quick prep brown rice (any brand will do) enough for 6 servings, which is typically 3 cups of dry rice and 2 1/2 cups of water.
After the rice has cooked and is sitting for the 5 minutes or so for the water to absorb, take out an 8 oz (approx) bag of Brussels sprouts from the freezer. Defrost the sprouts in the microwave.
After they have defrosted, use a quick chopper or food processor to shred the defrosted sprouts. Only pulse until the leaves have all separated from the sprouts.
Remove rice from pot, dump into a casserole dish, dump shredded Brussels sprouts into the rice-mix to combine. Top with approx. 3/4 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover tightly with foil.
Bake covered at 375 degrees F for approx 20 minutes, then remove the foil, add several pats of butter or margarine, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.
Stir, Serve and Enjoy!
