Basic Brown Rice Pilaf
Ingredients
1 cup brown rice (I use basmati rice)
1 large onion, sliced thin
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cups vegetable broth
Directions
1. Soak the rice in water for 2 hours, or up to overnight.
2. Drain the rice and keep on the side until Step 4.
3. In a heavy bottom pot, heat the onions, garlic, oil, salt, and pepper on med-high heat for ~8 mins (until the onions start to turn brown).
4. Add the rice and cook for ~3 mins, stirring constantly.
5. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low, cover and simmer for 30-35 mins. Check the rice at 10 min intervals and add more broth as needed.
