Creamy Brown Rice with Rosemary (Edit recipe)

This Creamy Brown Rice with Rosemary is my gluten-free and dairy-free version of risotto. However, it takes a maximum of 15 minutes to make. The creaminess comes from a béchamel inspired gluten-free and dairy-free sauce. It’s similar to a Mac n cheese sauce however I use gluten-free flour, oat milk, and dairy-free cheese. What makes the dish, is the fresh rosemary and lemon juice. The two add brightness, freshness to the rich, decadent, cream sauce.

Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Use your favorite dairy-free cheese in this recipe. I used the parmesan and mozzarella from Trader Joes. For best results use two types of cheese (1/4 cup of each)
