Rice with cheese

Directions

1. In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. In a pan, toast the rice very lightly in half the butter. Do not brown. Add the toasted rice to the water, once it begins to boil. Do this carefully as it may spatter when added. Cook on low heat until the rice is fully cooked.

2. While you are waiting for your rice to cook, dice your red pepper, and grate the carrots and cheese.

3. Sautée the red pepper and carrots in the remaining half of the butter. When these are soft, add the grated cheese and rapidly stir it in, ensuring it doesn’t stick to your pan, until it melts and is fully incorporated into the vegetables.

4. When your rice is cooked, remove it from the pot, place in a mixing bowl, and mix in the vegetables and cheese. Turn it into a serving bowl and serve hot.
