Mediterranean Rice

It is easy one pan mediterranean rice dish. One can make it vegan as well.

Ingredients:

1 cup rice

1 can butter beans rinsed and drained

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 cup sliced italian olives

1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes

1 cup chopped sundried tomatoes

2 cups chopped spinach

1 10oz jar marinated artichoke hearts

Parsley for garnish 1/2 lemon juiced

1/2 cup coconut milk

2.5-3 cups water or vegetable broth

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

Garnish: feta or vegan feta cheese + parsley

Instructions

Mix all together in a casserole dish making sure the rice is covered well. Bake for 1 hour or until rice is cooked at 400 F. I have been using Pyrex glass dish and get evenly cooked rice with crispy edges.

Here is before and after setting the dish in the oven.

Fork the rice to fluff and before serving. Garnish with feta or vegan feta cheese and parsley!
