Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine rice, water and 1/2 tsp. salt in a saucepan; bring to boil over high heat. Cover. Lower heat. Simmer 35 min.
  2. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 20 min. Meanwhile, shred zucchini and place in large sieve or possibly colander over medium-sized bowl. Add in remaining salt and let stand 30 min while rice cooks. With back of wooden spoon, press liquid from zucchini till dry.
  3. Beat Large eggs in a large bowl; add in zucchini, mixing well. Add in rice, green onion, walnuts, sage, thyme and pepper. Mix well to moisten thoroughly, using hands if necessary.
  4. Spoon mix into a buttered 8 1/2 inch by 4 1/2 inch glass or possibly aluminum baking dish. (Don't use tin because it will discolor loaf.) Spread proportionately in pan; cover with aluminum foil.
  5. Bake 45 min. Remove foil and continue baking 10 min more. Remove from oven to wire rack. Let stand 15 min. Run a small, sharp pointed knife around edges of pan to loosen loaf; place serving dish on top and invert loaf onto dish.
  6. While loaf rests, make sauce. Heat butter in a saucepan. Stir in cornstarch, mustard and salt; continue stirring over medium heat till frothy. Remove from heat. Gradually add in lowfat milk, stirring with a wire whisk till smooth. Return to heat. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly till mix thickens. Add in cheese; continue to cook till cheese melts. Stir in buttermilk. Spoon some sauce over loaf; pass remaining sauce at table. Garnish loaf with whole walnuts if you like.
