directions
-
For pilaf:
- Heat oil in 2 quart saucepan.
- Stir in rice and cook and stir until it begins to brown.
- Add onion, stirring until lightly browned.
- Add bouillon cube, salt, ginger, oregano and water, stirring to combine.
- Cover and lower heat to simmer.
- Cook until rice is just tender, about 30 minutes.
-
For mushroom/walnut mixture:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat, add walnuts and stir until lightly browned.
- Remove with slotted spoon and reserve.
- Add onions and mushrooms to oil and brown lightly, remove with slotted spoon and reserve.
- Add broccoli and saute until crisp-tender, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in onions, mushrooms, water chestnuts and garlic.
- Remove from heat and add walnuts, soy sauce and sour cream.
- Stir lightly to coat vegetables.
- Spread brown rice pilaf in greased, shallow 2 1/2 quart baking dish.
- Cover with vegetable mixture, and sprinkle evenly with cheeses.
- Bake until cheese melts, about 20 minutes.
- Serve garnished with orange slices.
- Cooking time below is approximate, as I think you can do the pilaf and mushroom mixture concurrently.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
DH, DD and DS and I live in the golden hills outside San Jose, about an hour from the coast and Monterey/Carmel. We all love to eat- even the kids are reasonably adventurous. We love to travel- Napa Valley w/o the kids, Lake Tahoe with them.
I have dozens of "favorite" cookbooks (does Recipezaar count?) but I keep coming back to "Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking" by Marcella Hazan and "The Way to Cook" by the late, great, Julia Child.
When I can, I get together with a couple of friends and make Ukrainian dyed eggs.
