My DH found this recipe in a Paul Prudhomme book and has adjusted it to our preferences. Great side for just about anything (especially grilled foods) with a light flavor - which doesn't end up competing with your other dishes. Really easy to make, just toss it in the oven and forget about it (so to speak) while you work on other things. We tend to like the gorgonzola cheese lately, but feta also works really nicely. It all depends on what your main dish flavor is and your preference. Cooking times can vary - we find 70 minutes works perfectly for us.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups long grain white rice
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped
1/3 cup celery, finely chopped
4-5 ounces gorgonzola, crumbled (feta also works nicely)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne

Directions

1
Chop onions, bell pepper and celery, set aside.
2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3
Add all ingredients into a covered casserole dish and place into oven.
4
Bake for approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes (ovens and cooking times may vary).
5
Cheese typically forms a crust on the top; Enjoy!

Easy and so good. I used gorogonzola (but about half as much as that's all I had on hand). Mine ended up nice and spicy with additional cayenne and aleppo peppers. I also added about a cup of fresh broccoli to use it up and make me fell healthier! Thanks for posting!

YUMMERS Rob made this while visiting a couple weeks ago.... while we BBQ'd Chicken on the Grill. It was DELISH! I had the honor of watching him in action while he put this dish together and after tasting it, I told him He had to get it on Zaar! I always make rice pilaf with grilled meats and this was a nice change. So easy to make and the flavors.... Oh my! No overpowering but just perfect combination. Loved the gorganzola creaminess with the spices! Thanks Rob!!!!! Another one I will definitely make. I liked it so much I asked him to make it again before the vacation was up Thanks for posting Chelle, now I can make it anytime I want. HUGS to you and DH!!!!

I had the pleasure of tasting DH's recipe made by Mommy Diva. Simple, filling, and tasty. Not as heavy as a mac & cheese but with similar flavors. I liked the melted gorgonzola and the cayenne gives the dish some picante. Great for a barbeque. Makes a large serving so ideal for serving in buffet style. Update: Ok, OK have been informed by MD that MD's DH actually made the dish. Not wanting to deny a brother his due, Congrat's DH!

Delicious!!! I was lucky enough to have the chef himself make this for us at a recent July 4th get together, and I totally loved it! The flavours melded together so well, and the result was a savoury, cheesy rice that was just sooo good! I'm going to make this for catering, I know everyone will love it!
