Directions

1. Cook Qetoe Rice (Absorption Method):
2. Pour boiling water over the rice until just covered. Let sit for 5–6 minutes, then fluff with a fork once absorbed. Set aside.
3. Cook Broccoli:
4. Steam or microwave broccoli until just tender (about 3–4 mins). Drain any excess moisture.
5. Make the Gratin Base:
6. In a saucepan, heat cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in cheddar and parmesan until melted into a creamy sauce.
7. Combine Rice + Broccoli:
8. Add the cooked Qetoe Rice and broccoli into the sauce. Stir gently to coat everything in cheesy goodness.
9. Bake It:
10. Transfer the mixture into a small baking dish or oven-safe bowl. Top with extra cheddar. Bake at 200°C for 15–20 minutes, or until bubbling and golden on top.
11. Let It Rest:
12. Give it 5 minutes to settle before digging in — the melty cheese pull is totally worth it!
