Ingredients
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces fully cooked beer bratwurst, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 8-ounce package sliced cremini mushrooms
2 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 carrot, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup half-and-half
Kosher salt
1 cup grated Swiss cheese (about 4 ounces)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bratwurst, mushrooms, celery, carrot, scallion whites and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms soften, about 4 minutes.
- Add the rice and cook, stirring to coat, 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, half-and-half and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, then cover the skillet and transfer to the oven. Bake until the rice is tender, about 18 minutes.
- Switch the oven to broil. Uncover the rice and sprinkle with the cheese. Broil until the cheese is browned and bubbling, about 2 minutes. Top with the scallion greens. Photograph by Antonis Achilleos
