Tian de Courgettes au Riz 

2 lbs. zucchini 
1/4 cup olive oil (+2 Tbsp) 
1 lg onion (minced) 
2 T flour 
2-4 lg cloves garlic (minced) 
1 1/2 C liquid (milk) 
1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice 
1/2 tsp. thyme 
salt and pepper 
3/4 cup cheese (parmesan, or cheddar if you prefer) (+2 Tbsp) 

Coursely grate zucchini into a sieve set over a bowl. 
Squeeze & press zucchini down to extract liquid into bowl. 
Simmer onion in oil for 5 minutes. 
Add zucchini and garlic, toss and stir for 2-3 minutes. 
Stir in flour and cook another couple of minutes. 
Pour zucchini juice into measuring cup -- add milk to equal 1 1/2 cups. 
Blend milk mixture into pan. 
Add rice, seasonings and cheese. 
Pour into greased baking dish. Sprinkle with 2 T each of oil and cheese. 
Bake at 425º until hot and bubbly, a little browned. 

(I think you could cut back a wee bit on the olive oil, but otherwise, 
it's a good recipe, and since the zucchini is grated, people don't usually 
realize that's what the green stuff is.)
