Spinach and Feta Casserole with Brown Rice

Step 1

Cook enough brown rice to make 3 cups cooked brown rice. (Follow package directions or use a rice cooker).

Step 2

Let rice cool slightly while you prepare other ingredients.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 350F/180C.

Step 4

Put thawed spinach into a colander, then use your hands to squeeze out as much of the water as you can.

Step 5

In a small bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the buttermilk (or milk), sliced green onions, dried thyme, salt, and Worcestershire sauce.

Step 6

When ingredients are combined, mix in the drained spinach.

Step 7

Then mix in the crumbled Feta and 1/2 cup coarsely grated Parmesan, followed by the brown rice.

Step 8

Use a fork to mix until the ingredients are well-distributed into the rice.

Step 9

Put the mixture into a 2.5 or 3 quart casserole dish that you’ve sprayed with oil or non-stick spray.

Step 10

Cover the dish and bake about 30 minutes, or until the rice mixture is heated through and Feta is starting to melt.

Step 11

Uncover and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, then bake about 10 minutes more.  Serve hot.

Step 12

This freezes well, but you may not have any left to freeze!
