Zucchini Rice

Zucchini Rice yup that's what I said... seems strange but a must try! A friend sent this recipe over to me since she knows I am always looking for new ways to use the ever abundant fresh Zucchini that we have from the garden. I wanted to pass it along because it was super delicious and super easy. You can't beat that combination. I hope you will get the chance to enjoy it for yourself as well. 



Cheesy Zucchini Rice
adapted from Comfort of Cooking, originally from Real Simple

• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 Tbs butter
• 1 medium zucchini, grated on the large holes of a cheese grater
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
• salt and pepper, to taste

Bring the broth to a boil in a medium saucepan.  Stir in the rice, cover, and reduce heat to low.

Cook about 20 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Remove from heat, add the butter and zucchini, and cover.  Allow to stand 5 minutes, then stir to incorporate.  Stir in the cheese, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
