Wow. This is a delicious combination of flavors. I did cook this differently though. I didn't have a lot of time and energy so I layerd all of the ingredients into my casserole dish starting with the uncooked rice and water at the bottom and ending with the cheese. I threw in some slices of eggplant as well since I had it on hand. Then I threw the whole casserole into the oven at 350 for an hour. It cooked up wonderfully and had a gorgeous bubbly cheese crust on top.Reply
