"Cheese-y" Broccoli and Rice (vegan, gf)

This simple vegan recipe provides you with nutrients (from the sauce) and your veggies and grains all in one meals! 

Ingredients

“Cheese” Sauce

• 1 C cashews
• 1/2 C nutritional yeast
• 1/2 to 1 tsp salt (to taste)

• 1 C water

Other

• 2 C wild rice (cooked)
• 2 C broccoli (chopped into small pieces)*

*for grain free, use 4 cups broccoli and no rice 

**arrowroot flour makes the "cheese" a little stickier consistency. You can omit, but "cheese" may be a little runnier (it will still taste yummy!)

 

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. Put cooked rice + broccoli (or just broccoli) into baking dish.
