AMA Family Health Cookbook


List of Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 1/4 cups raw long grain brown rice
3 1/4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs
such as thyme, basil, tarragon, sage, -- dill, chives , etc.


Recipe

In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens and browns, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until the grains become coated with oil and begin to lightly toast, about 3 minutes. Add the broth and the salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid, 40-45 minutes. Use a fork to stir the parsley and other herbs into the rice. Season with pepper and additional salt to taste. Serves 4.

Note: To substitute quick cooking brown rice, use 2 cups of rice and 2 cups of liquid. Follow the cooking directions on the package and stir in the herbs at the end.
