The Baked Rice Recipe (Varieties)

Ingredients

Cooked Rice
Capsicum
Cherry Tomatoes
Honey Baked Ham
Swiss Brown Mushrooms
Cheese & Herb Prego sauce
Parmesan Cheese

The steps are really simple. Just follow the directions below :-


1. Slice and dice all the ingredients as shown above.


2. Sautee the chopped mushroom and ham with olive oil and add a small dollop of butter. This brings out the flavour of ham and softens the mushroom so it won’t have that raw uncooked texture.


3.Next add in the rice and add another dollop of butter and a splash of olive oil and mix it well with the sauteed mushrooms and ham bits. You can add in some parmesan cheese into the mixture for some cheesy gooey flavor. Lastly add in the cubed tomatoes and capsicum to the mix. Reason we add it last is to prevent having soggy tomatoes later. It maintains its crunchiness.

Also stir in some mixed herbs such as oregano, parsley, rosemary..basically anything you can find in your kitchen so it’ll make it more aromatic. Add some pepper too but NOT SALT cause the ham and cheese will already add to the saltiness.


4. Plate it out nicely into a oven proof casserole dish. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celcius. Add a thin layer of the herb and cheese sauce over the rice. And later add a generous amount of parmesan cheese on top. You can also use mozzarella cheese since it has a better melting effect.
* A substitute for the cheese sauce would be using canned mushroom/Chicken soup. Don’t put too much sauce on it cause it will make the rice very ‘wet’.

5. Place into oven till the cheese melts and brown and you have your very own baked rice. Simple right? And fast too. You can alter this recipe however you like substituting the ingredients with sausages/carrots/ potatoes..or even using any leftovers you had from the day before. Just make sure the flavours don’t clash.
