Creamy Rice and Broccoli (using leftover rice)

I was craving a rice pudding, but needed to do something to go with our grilled chicken. So I came up with a savory rice pudding that is creamy and flavorful. I had frozen broccoli on hand, but sautéed spinach would also be good. Feel free to put in whatever seasonings work for you. My pre-cooked rice already had some seasoning in it, so the measurements here are approximate for plain rice.

Steps
- 1
Put the rice, milk, coconut oil, and seasonings into a large saucepan. Heat over medium low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching, about 15 minutes.
- 2
When mixture starts to thicken, add sugar and continue cooking until bubbles (or air pockets) start to form, about 5 minutes.
- 3
Turn heat down to low and add in cheese, stirring until incorporated and thickened to rice pudding consistency (5 mins).
- 4
Turn off heat and add cooked broccoli, stirring gently to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
- 5
Serve immediately with your favorite protein.
