Description

I love, love, love zucchini and I try to make it every way possible through the summer when there is plenty of fresh zucchini. I also love cheesy rice. This zucchini rice was sooooo good. Everything about it was perfect. I could have eaten the entire pan! Oh my gosh, I can’t tell you how delicious it was. If you have zucchini coming out of your ears from the garden, you have got to make this!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 cup Medium Grain Rice
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 whole Medium Size Zucchini, Diced Into Chunks
  • ½ teaspoons Garlic Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Lime Juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded

Preparation

Bring the broth to a boil in a saucepan. Add rice and stir well. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 20 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed, stirring occasionally.

While rice is cooking, in a skillet add olive oil, zucchini, garlic salt, cracked black pepper and lime juice. Saute 5-8 minutes or until just tender.

Remove rice from heat, add the butter and cheese and mix well. Add zucchini, folding it in and cover. Let stand 5 minutes.

Serve.
