I must have been subconsciously missing Japan more than normal this weekend because I tried out several recipes that remind me of food in Japan...coffee jelly, milk coffee and now meat doria. This is like a gratin, but with rice instead. and I had a ton of rice to use up so this worked perfectly. I copied the doria I often got at Gusto's, a restaurant we went to occasionally in Japan.
I made four single serving dishes.
You need:
4 cups cooked rice
white sauce (recipe found here, take out the chicken bullion and use water instead of chicken broth)
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
2 Tbsp grated parmesan
1/2 lb ground beef
1 cup pasta sauce
- preheat oven to 450
- make white sauce according to recipe directions
- add cheeses to the sauce and mix well. turn off heat once it is mixed together.
- meanwhile brown the beef and then add pasta sauce to it.
- in the bottom of oven safe dishes, put a layer of rice
- ladle on some of the white sauce and mix in with rice. smooth out rice and then add a little more white sauce on top.
- put a couple spoonfuls of the meat sauce in the middle of each dish.
- arrange dishes on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 min
- in the last 5 minutes, put the oven up to 500 to help the cheese on top brown a bit.
Enjoy!
