Rice Bread recipe image

This unique “rice bread” is actually a savory vegetable loaf that resembles a dense, moist cornbread. It features a hearty mix of diced potatoes, celery, and onions simmered in tomato juice before being baked with uncooked white rice, which absorbs the liquid and binds the loaf together. The result is a tender, aromatic dish with a comforting, home-style flavor profile. It’s an excellent way to use up garden vegetables or pantry staples. Serve it warm as a side dish to soups and stews, or slice it cold for a hearty sandwich. ItâÂÂs vegetarian, satisfying, and makes a wonderful addition to a potluck or family dinner table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or a similar baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the diced potatoes, celery, onions, tomato juice (or V-8), water, sugar, and salt.
  3. Bring the vegetable mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain any excess liquid if necessary.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, and flour until smooth.
  5. Add the cooked vegetable mixture, uncooked white rice, crushed cracker crumbs, and frozen corn (or corn/pea mixture) to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley (or dried parsley flakes) over the top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
