Vegetarian Rice Casserole
1/4 Cup oil
1 Onion
1 large carrot
1 cup shredded cabbage or broccoli
Handful of green beans and peas
boiling salted water
1 cub shredded spinach leaves

2 Tablespoons sesame seeds
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
Sea salt to taste
1 cup brown rice
2 eggs

Method: Cook rice in boiling water, drain and add briefly cooked beans, or peas ( or both)
Heat oil and saute chopped onion and chopped carrot and cook until onion is tender.
Add cabbage, beans, spinach and lettuce ( or mushrooms) Cook covered without added liquid until wilted. Add drained bean sprouts, sesame seeds, walnuts, salt and soy sauce. Cover and steam 3 minutes. Mix in the rice, toss lightly, reheat gently.

Make a well in the center of vegetable mixture and add lightly beaten eggs.

This meal tastes delicious and is versatile - use what you have on hand and it can easily be extended when extra people are expected, just add extra veggies or add tofu. It is a recipe my husband used often when he wants to cook something up that is tasty and looks impressive.
