2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 lb Brussels sprout, trimmed of outer leaves and base, thinly shaved crosswise

1/2 cup almonds, slivered
salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Prepare rice according to package directions.

In a bowl, stir cooked rice, sprouts, and all other remaining ingredients. Mix until cheese is melted and everything is nicely mixed. If too thick, add a little water to thin it out. Season with more salt and pepper, if needed.
