Wild Rice Gratin image

This is a delicious dish and a wonderful use for yummy and nutritious wild rice. This also hides the veggies which is the only way my family will eat them! grrr! Easy to double all the ingredients and make 2 casseroles! One to freeze and one to serve! This is great for potlucks and covered dish dinners too!

Categories     Spinach

Time 1h

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups cooked wild rice or 4 cups cooked wild rice, and regular rice blend
1 lb spinach, washed (bag spinach is great) or 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, well squeezed of all liquid
3 eggs or 1/2 cup Egg Beaters egg substitute
1 bunch green onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
8 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese, grated
4 ounces water chestnuts, minced
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs (optional)

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs well and season with salt and pepper. Stir in rice, cheese and parsley.
  • Lightly saute the green onions, using both green and white parts, in a large skillet that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
  • If using fresh spinach tear or coarsely chop the spinach leaves and stir them to the pan of green onions and toss just until a little wilted. Frozen spinach would only require a good squeeze to remove all the liquid- I use a ricer for this and it works great!
  • Add the onions and spinach to the rice mixture and taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper if needed.
  • Spoon into an 8x8 or 9x9 pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray and sprinkle with bread crumbs if desired.
  • Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until a little brown on top.
  • Enjoy!

This gratin is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. I often make it with leftover Thanksgiving turkey and it's always a hit.

I made this gratin in a cast iron skillet and it turned out perfectly. The cast iron skillet helped to evenly distribute the heat and the gratin cooked evenly.

I used a combination of Parmesan and Asiago cheese in this gratin and it was so delicious. The Asiago cheese gave the gratin a sharp flavor that I really liked.

I added some chopped bacon to this gratin and it was amazing. The bacon added a smoky flavor that really took the dish to the next level.

I made this gratin with brown rice instead of wild rice and it turned out great. The brown rice gave the gratin a nutty flavor that I really liked.

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, but I really enjoyed this gratin. The mushrooms were cooked to perfection and they didn't overpower the other flavors.

This gratin is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the cheese and the rice, and they don't even notice the vegetables.

I love the crispy cheese crust on this gratin. It's so good! I always make sure to broil the gratin for a few minutes before serving so that the cheese gets nice and crispy.

This gratin is perfect for a vegetarian meal. It's packed with vegetables and it's really satisfying. I often serve it with a side salad for a complete meal.

I love that this gratin can be made ahead of time. I usually make it the night before and then bake it the next day. It's so convenient and it always turns out perfectly.
