  • 8 oz cashew nuts
  • 2 cloves garlic

Instructions

  • Cook the brown rice in a pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions, drain and leave to cool.
  • Roast the walnuts and cashews on a baking tray in the Oven for 5-7 minutes. Allow them to cool then finely chop them. Peel and finely chop the garlic and onion. Clean and chop the mushrooms.
  • Cook the onion with almost all the butter in a large pan over a medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, mushrooms and herbs and season with salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Beat the eggs and grate the cheese. Combine the mixture in the pan with the rice, nuts, eggs, cottage cheese and grated cheese. Season to taste.
