Even though Thanksgiving is more than three weeks away, I'm already seeing an uptick in searches for related recipes. Thus, I thought it was an appropriate time to share this recipe that was part of my grandmother's collection.
This was a popular side dish at Stephenson's Old Apple Farm Restaurant in Independence, Missouri, which just closed last year after being in business for more than 60 years. Without further ado:
Green Rice
3 cups cooked rice
1 cup finely chopped parsley
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/3 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup green pepper, chopped
1 large clove garlic, pressed
1 – 4.5 oz. can evaporated milk
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Juice and grated rind of one lemon.
Mix rice, parsley, cheese, onion, green pepper and garlic in greased 2-quart casserole dish. Blend remaining ingredients and mix into rice. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes. Makes 10 servings.
