This is what I made last night to feed our east coast family
that is coming from skiing to stay the night on their way to
the airport. It should serve the vegetarian with a green
salad and everyone else with a roast loin of pork and some
applesauce. I have seen it attributed to Marian Burros
"Pure and Simple" cookbook, but I got it from a friend.
Thanks to B.Hart, wherever you are!

PS: It really is tasty.

Broccoli-Rice Dinner Casserole serves ~10

1 1/2 c. brown rice (or white)
salt
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. dill weed
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. oregano
1/2 bunch parsley, chopped
1/2 lb. sliced mushrooms
1 green or red pepper, sliced thin
2 lb. fresh broccoli, sliced thinly or chopped
1/2 lb. fresh grated gruyere or Swiss
1/2 lb. fresh grated Parmesan
1/2 pint sour cream
1/2 c. dry roasted cashews

Cook rice as directed until tender and dry. Set aside.
Heat oil in your largest skillet; saute onion, garlic, dill,
thyme and oregano until onion starts to soften. Add parsley,
mushrooms, green pepper. Stir fry a few minutes, then add
broccoli. Stir until broccoli turns brighter green and becomes
crisp-tender. Add cashews and remove from heat.

Spread cooked rice in a 9x13 inch glass pan or similar sized
casserole. Cover with vegetable mixture, then cheeses.
Spread with sour cream. Bake 30 minutes at 350 deg. or until
mixture bubbles and cheese is melted.

It's not as complicated as it looks and helps if you have
everything chopped in advance. You need a BIG skillet for
the green stuff.

Thank him for me, too, it looks delicious. I am forwarding
it to my niece, who is trying out vegetarianism. Thanks for posting.
