Rice casserole with onion cannelloni
Description
Homemade baked dish for tea. Anyone of you can easily prepare this casserole. It requires very few ingredients—you can even use leftovers from yesterday's meal. You can also add any vegetables you like to this casserole: tomatoes, bell peppers, celery stalks. The casserole will become brighter, more aromatic, and tastier. If you'd like to make a larger casserole, place the onion cannelloni with filling in the middle, between layers of rice—the dish will look even more interesting and juicy when sliced. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
