Low Carb Rice And Grains Recipes

Ingredients:

1 nonstick vegetable spray
1 1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1 cup zucchini shredded
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup med. cheddar cheese shredded
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp marjoram
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

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.
