- 2 c. vegetable stock (that has been in the freezer since god knows when)
- 1/4 c. butter
- 1 c. medium brown rice
- Some chopped green pepper and onions that have been in the freezer since the summer of the Worst CSA in the World
- Some tomatoes from the garden, because I can't stand to eat any more salsa
- An entire bunch of cilantro that has been languishing on the counter, because I can't stand to eat any more salsa
- A can of black beans
Preheat oven to 350.
Bring stock and butter to a boil in a saucepan.
Place rice in 3-quart casserole (one that has a lid). Top with green pepper, onions, and tomatoes. Gently pour the stock and butter over all. Cover and bake for 45-60 minutes.
Remove from oven and stir in black beans and cilantro. Return to oven for 15 minutes.
Enjoy.
Tonight I ate mine with tortilla chips I found in the cupboard, because I can't stand to eat any more salsa.
If I had a lot of tomatoes from the garden, I like to think I'd make a ton of marinara and freeze it in individual packets, but the truth is, I'd probably just make salsa until I couldn't stand to eat it any more.
ReplyDeleteHaha--usually it is zucchini that people complain won't stop growing...if only neighbors could 'barter' what they grow in excess. I'm also not motivated/organized enough to do the can/freezing thing--I keep meaning to make chicken stock from bones and freeze it in ice trays like you are supposed to, but I never do...
