Broccoli & Cheese Rice

A friend of mine made something like this a while back, and as I was running out of time and ideas for dinner, I decided to try it!

When my little boy eats nonstop, I know I did well. I served this with sauteed catfish, it was quick and easy.


WHAT YOU NEED: (Serving 3-4)

½ cup of broccoli
1 cup of uncooked rice
2 cups of water
2 tsp of olive oil
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp butter
¾ cup of milk (or ½ cup of cream)
¾ cup of cheese
2 cloves of garlic crushed
Salt & pepper
Crush red pepper (optional)
Oregano (optional)

LET’S GET STARTED

1) Stir fry broccoli & garlic in oil (add red peppers and oregano)
2) Add rice, and mix thoroughly
3) Add water, and put temperature on high until it boils, then put back to low heat covered until cooked.
4) Mix cold milk and flour, then put on a pan and bring to a simmer.
5) Add cheese of your choice, until well melted, then add the butter and mix well.
6) Add the cheese sauce to the rice, and mix with a fork!


That’s it!
