Ingredients

• 1 cup Brown rice
• 2 cups Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 medium Bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup Mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 cup Black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 large Eggs, beaten
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup Chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the brown rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the bell pepper and mushrooms to the skillet, and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, sautéed vegetables, black beans, beaten eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf is set.

Step 8

Allow the rice loaf to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before turning it out onto a serving plate.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your sugar-free savory rice loaf as a delicious accompaniment to your main course or on its own with a side salad.
