Rice Rice Baby

Interesting dish for tonight,it is Manchego Cheesy Rice. Manchego is a soft cheese made from sheeps milk. Rather tasty, as a matter of fact it taste a bit like feta cheese, and it can be hard to find, but find some I did. I made this as a side dish to my families fourth of july meal.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter

1 1/2 cups white rice

3 cups chicken stock

Handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

1 cup grated Manchego cheese

Salt and pepper

Directions

Melt butter over medium heat in a medium sauce pot. Add rice and toast in butter 2 minutes. Add stock and bring rice up to a boil. Cook rice 17 to 18 minutes until tender and liquids are absorbed. Remove from heat, fluff rice with fork, then stir in the parsley and cheese. Season the rice with salt and pepper, to taste.

The verdict.............well that family ate it all and stated they wished I had made more...........so I guess the verdict is.......delicious.

Until tomorrow, I hope everyone has a great weekend.
