Source of Recipe

Unknown

olive oil
optional: 1 tsp. sesame oil
1/4 cup sweet onion, sliced thin then halved
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups long grain brown rice
5 cups vegetable broth
1 Tbs soy sauce
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp basil
1/4 tsp celery seed
1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1 cup fresh or frozen peas


Rinse rice well. In a medium to large pan (a skillet with a lid will work too) sauté garlic and onion in a small amount of olive oil till softened and lightly browned. Add rice to the pot. Stir in the other ingredients, except peas, cover and bring just to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45-50 minutes. The rice will have cooking time on the package. Stir in peas, simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cool for 10 minutes and stir with a fork.
