Wild Rice Foccia
 
Foccia is a popular Italian flatbread that can be served alongside a variety of different main dishes. Here, a risotto-like mixture of wild rice and brown rice is cooked up, pressed into a pan, seasoned, and baked in order to make a tasty foccia lookalike that is healthy, gluten-free, and easy to make. My family loves it when I make this dish and it takes the cake when compared to plain cooked rice, yet it takes little more effort to make. Perfect for quick weeknight dinners and for special occasions.
 
Ingredients:
 
1/2 cup dry fancy Fall River Wild Rice
1/2 cup dry brown rice
2 cups vegetable broth
2 tbsp cashew butter (Tahini, a seed butter made from sesame seeds, can be used in place of cashew butter in the case of nut allergies)
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried rosemary
Black pepper and salt to taste
 
In a medium-sized pot, mix the wild rice, brown rice, broth, and cashew butter. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the rice simmer for about 25 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/175 degrees C.
 
Transfer the cooked rice mixture to an oiled 8 x 8 pan and firmly and evenly press it into the pan using a spatula. Brush the top of the rice with the olive oil, sprinkle with the rosemary, and season to taste. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Slice the "foccia" into squares using a spatula. Serve and enjoy! Makes 6 servings.
