rice warm or at room temperature. They are also delicious eaten hot
with tomato sauce and thin slices of cold rare roast lamb or beef."

onion, dill, parsley, egg. milk, Tabasco and black pepper and blend
well. Add rice and toss to combine well. Press mixture evenly into a
lightly buttered 8 or 9 inch square baking dish. Bake in the centre
of the oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until rice is beginning to brown
lightly around the edges and becomes crusty. Remove from oven and let
cool for 20 minutes before cutting. Run a small knife around the
edges of dish and cut rice into 2-inch squares.
