Prep time:10 min
Total time:25 min

Serves 6 to 8

Ingredients

2 cups Longo’s Essentials Low Sodium Vegetable Broth

1 cup Longo’s Essentials White Long Grain Rice

2 cups Longo’s Riced Broccoli

2 cups grated cheddar cheese (plus optional extra for garnish)

1/2 cup Longo’s Sour Cream

1 tbsp each Longo’s Dijon Mustard and Longo’s Salted Butter

1/2 tsp each salt and pepper

1/4 cup chopped fresh Longo’s Chives or Green Onions (plus optional extra for garnish)

Directions

  • Combine broth and rice in saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir in riced broccoli. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Uncover and stir in cheese, sour cream, mustard, butter, salt and pepper until cheese is melted and grains are coated. Cover, remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in chives and spoon into a serving dish; sprinkle with a little extra cheese and chives, if using. (Make-ahead - Instead of letting dish stand for 5 minutes, spoon into a buttered 6-cup casserole dish. Reserve in refrigerator for up to 2 days. Bring casserole dish to room temperature; bake, covered, at 375°F for 25 minutes or until hot throughout.)
