New Recipe: Zucchini Rice Gratin!
We almost always have leftover rice in the fridge because my child LOVES RICE and it’s a very adaptable ingredient to have in my meal prep repetoire.
If you take some tomatoes from a friend and some zucchini that didn’t make its way into fritters, you can easily prepare a Zucchini Rice Gratin with the addition of eggs and cheese.
When I served up a bowl, it reminded me of arancini (fried balls of risotto with cheese) but not fried and waaaaay less time-consuming. If you’re a fan of crispy rice and roasted vegetables, this makes an amazing side dish served with your protein of choice (I’d do sausage) or a main dish paired with a salad. Either way, it’s a reminder that rice is one of the ultimate kitchen shapeshifters. No wonder it’s always a staple in the Benjamin household.
