Creamy Rice and Broccoli Casserole

1 1/2 cups brown rice
3 3/4 cups water
2 cups chopped broccoli
2 Tbs Olive oil
1 tsp sea Salt

Heat oven to 375.  Place above ingredients in a large glass baking dish.  Bake for 1 hour.  In a high speed blender, place:

1/2 cup raw cashews
1 cup roasted butternut squash
2 roasted garlic cloves
1/2-3/4 cups water
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbs Olive oil
Plenty of black pepper

Blend on high until steaming.  Remove rice from the oven, stir in the creamy sauce and serve.  I loved this.  The squash gave it a slightly sweet taste, and the cashew and oil made it rich and creamy.  Yum, Yum.
