The Enchanted Broccoli Forest (katzen)

The idea is not simply that we have been forgiven, and therefore we ought to forgive, but that God Himself , in Christ has forgiven us, and therefore our debt is incalculable. No matter how much wretched evil has been done against us, it is little compared with the offense that we have thrown in the face of God. Yet God in Christ has forgiven us. If we know anything of the release of this forgiveness, if we have glimpsed anything of the magnitude of the debt we owe to God, our forgiveness of others will not seem to be such a large leap.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cook 2 cups brown or white rice in 3 cups boiling water until tender.
(This will take 15-20 minutes for white, and 35-35 minutes for  brown.)
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and set aside. Trim the  tough
bottoms from the broccoli stalks and cut the tops into smallish  spears
of whatever size suits you. Cook them in a steamer over  boiling water
until bright green and just barely tender. Rinse under  cold running
water, drain well and set aside. Preheat oven to 325F.  Lightly grease
a 9X13-inch baking pan. Melt the butter or heat the  oil in a large,
deep skillet or a Dutch oven. Add the onion and salt  and saute over
medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the onion  begins to soften.
Add the garlic and lemon juice and saute for about  2 minutes longer.
Stir in the rice, some black pepper and cayenne to  taste, the herbs
and the optional sunflower seeds and/or cheese.  Taste to correct salt,
if necessary and spread into prepared pan. Now  for the fun part.
Arrange the broccoli upright in the rice, and, if  desired, drizzle
with melted butter. Cover loosely with foil and bake  until just heated
through (15-20 minutes). Serve right away.  Recipe from THE ENCHANTED

A Message from our Provider:

“Thankfulness to God is a recognition that God in His goodness and faithfulness has provided for us and cared for us, both physically and spiritually. It is a recognition that we are totally dependent upon Him; that all that we are and have comes from God. #Jerry Bridges”
