serves 4-6

Ingredients

1 cup brown rice

1 cup mozzarella cheese

1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained, chopped

1/2 cup heavy cream

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions

Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat and toast rice and garlic, stirring frequently, for 30-60 seconds, or until lightly toasted.

Step 2: Add onion and water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 20-30 minutes, or until rice has absorbed all water and is puffed up and fluffy.

Step 3: Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in cheese and spinach. Whisk flour into heavy cream, then stir into rice. Cook until mixture has thickened slightly, 5-7 minutes.

Step 4: Season with Rick's house seasoning.
