Day 153 - Brown Rice Loaf with Pumpkin Puree

This isn't the best photo but man this tasted yummy though it sounds horrible.  The kids didn't touch it but I did have enough leftovers from others stuff.  So everyone ate.

RECIPE:

2. Combine rice and 2 cups (500 ml) water in a small saucepan. Cover and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 25 minutes. Add broccoli for last 5 minutes of cooking. Set aside, covered, for 5 minutes.
3. Remove broccoli and finely chop. Transfer rice to a large bowl and set aside to cool.
