Nutty rice loaf

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Nonstick vegetable spray
1½ cup Cooked brown rice
1 cup Zucchini shredded
¼ cup Onion, chopped
½ cup Wheat germ
¼ cup Walnuts, chopped
1 cup Med. cheddar cheese shredded
3 Eggs, lightly beaten
½ teaspoon Thyme
½ teaspoon Marjoram
¼ teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

My notes: Omit wheat germ for gluten-free diet. Substitute bran if wheat germ is not available, used to add fiber.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with non-stick vegetable spray. Combine ingredients and pack into loaf pan.

Bake 40 - 45 minutes or until brown on edges and firm to touch. Cut into slices. Serve hot or at room temperature with a salad.

OR Microwave in glass loaf pan covered with wax paper for 8 minutes on high power. Rotate once. OR if mixture holds together well enough, shape into patties and brown in a non-stick frying pan.
