Ingredients

  • 5 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1½ cups brown rice
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano or dried
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups boiling water
  • 1 6-ounce block feta cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Mix ingredients: In the dish, combine cherry tomatoes, brown rice, garlic, oregano, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and salt. Pour in the boiling water and stir well.
  • Add feta: Place the whole feta block in the center without breaking it.
  • Bake: Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 60 minutes, until the rice is tender. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes to let the excess liquid evaporate.
  • Broil: Increase the oven temperature to broil and broil for 2-3 minutes until the feta is lightly browned.
  • Finish: Remove from the oven and stir gently to mix the feta into the rice. Garnish with oregano if desired.
