From Vegetarian Dishes from Around the World:
1 cup brown rice
2 cups water
sea salt
1 pound fresh spinach (or any cooking green)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2-3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed or pressed
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
1 cup grated cheese
2 eggs
freshly ground black pepper
2-3 tablespoons dry (possibly GF?) bread crumbs
2-3 tablespoons grated parmesean cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
Wash rice and put into saucepan with water and teaspoon full of salt; bring to boil, then turn heat down and leave rice to cook very slowly, covered, until it's tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.
Preheat oven to 400 F. Wash the spinach thoroughly and chop it up, using the stalks too. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and put in the spinach, turning it in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes until it has softened slightly and looks glossy. Take it off the heat and add the rice, garlic, parsley, and grated cheese. Beat in the eggs and mix everything together seasoning with salt and a good grinding of pepper. Spoon the mixture into a shallow ovenproof dish and sprinkle the crumbs, parmesean, and olive oil on top. Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes, or until it's puffed up and golden brown and crispy on top.
Serve with an optional topping of tomato sauce.
Goes well with carrots and/or roast potatoes.
Time saving tips:
Prepare the rice ahead of time
Use pre-washed spinach
Use pre-grated cheese
