Ingredients

  • 14 cup long grain rice
  • 13 cup olive oil
  • 3 leeks, white part only, thinly sliced
  • 3 zucchini, coarsely grated
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 14 cup mint, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons dill, chopped
  • 8 eggs, beaten
  • 150 g feta cheese, drained and crumbled
  • sliced red onion, to serve
  • tomatoes, to serve

Method

  • Preheat oven to 180.
  • Grease a loaf pan or slice tray.
  • Cook rice in boiling, salted water until tender, about 8 minutes, drain.
  • Heat 2 tbs olive oil in saucepan, add leek and cook over low heat for 7-8 minutes or until softened.
  • Add zucchini and garlic and cook a further 2-3 minutes.
  • Allow to cool slightly.
  • Add rice, mint, dill, eggs and feta.
  • Season, mix, then pour into baking dish.
  • The loaf tin should bake for 30 minutes or until golden and set.
  • A slice tray would take less time, but I've not tried that!
  • Toss onion and tomato in remaining olive oil.
  • Serve hot, cold or at room temperature (my favourite) with a helping of the onion/tomato mix and a green salad.
