Name: Rice N' Cheese
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/4 - 1/2 head of garlic; olive oil, for drizzling; 1/2 cup arborio rice; 2 cups skim milk; 1 tablespoon butter; 3 tablespoons grated white cheddar; 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese; kosher salt; cracked pepper; 2 tablespoons snipped chives, for garnish

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2
Cut off about 1/2 inch from the top of the garlic head, just enough so you can see the tops of the cloves. Pour a healthy drizzle of olive oil over the tops of the cloves.
3
Cover with foil and roast in oven for roughly 40 minutes. Once cloves are cool enough to handle, squeeze them out from their skins and mince. Reserve until later.
4
Heat milk in medium saucepan until smoking.
5
Add rice and bring to a low boil.
6
Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until milk is absorbed (about one hour), making sure to stir frequently.
7
Remove from heat and stir in the cheese, garlic, butter and enough salt and pepper to your liking.
8
Garnish with snipped chives.
