BROWN RICE GRATIN
I got this recipe from Practical Cooking Vegetarian I'm not a vegitarian anymore, but this is a good side dish, and it's pretty healthy too. It's very versatile and can be made with any vegetables that you have on hand. I use it as a side dish. It can be used as a main dish if you prefer.

- Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. You can use a variety of cheeses to make a gratin, depending on your personal preferences. Some good options include cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan.
- Make sure the gratin is golden brown before serving. This will ensure that the cheese is melted and bubbly and that the dish is cooked through.
