Toddler Treat: Broccoli and Rice Casserole
Many toddlers know broccoli as "trees." Simply steamed, it is a perfect finger food. While broccoli is terrific in its native "tree" form, it is also yummy chopped, julienned and pureed. Our broccoli and rice casserole is an example of what can be done with pureed broccoli. If you don't feel like making the rice called for in the recipe, stop by a Chinese restaurant and buy a quart to go (by the way, brown rice is better for you than white rice).
Ingredients:
2 cups chopped broccoli
3/4 cup vegetable or chicken stock
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp olive oil
2-3 cups of cooked brown or white rice
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
