- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked brown rice
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups grated cheese (I use Mozarella)
- 5 eggs
- 1 bunch asparagus, chopped
- 1 red capsicum, sliced thinly
- 70 g spinach leaves, chopped coarsely
- 100 g feta cheese, grated
directions
- Combine rice, water, butter and salt in a microwave safe dish. Microwave, uncovered, for 20 minutes on HIGH. Stand for 10 minutes before stirring to separate. (You could cook the rice any way you like - this microwave method is the only way that works for me, as far as brown rice is concerned).
- Meanwhile: line the base and sides of a 19cm square cake pan with baking paper. Preheat oven to hot (200°C).
- Combine cooked rice, one cup of cheese and one egg. Mix well and press rice mixture firmly over base of prepared pan. Layer asparagus, capsicum and spinach over rice base.
- Beat remaining eggs in same bowl, add remaining cheese and feta; pour egg mixture over vegetables. Bake, uncovered, in hot oven for about 30 minutes or until firm. Stand for 5 minutes before serving.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a stay-at-home mum of 3 children. We have just had a new kitchen fitted in our home and I love experimenting with food and cooking.
I never buy ready-made meals or cakes in the supermarket and instead I encourage my children to make food from scratch, mainly because I'm very concerned about food additives and their effect on our health. I hate recipes that call for ingredients like "can of tomato soup" or "bottled pasta sauce" as I get more satisfaction out of knowing that I can make it myself and I know exactly what ingredients I've added.
