ORIENTAL BROWN RICE

Category: Rice/Risotto

5 cups chicken broth
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
2 cups long grain brown rice
1/4 cup sweet onion, sliced thin then halved
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp basil
1/4 tsp celery seed
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Olive oil
1 tsp sesame oil

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. Rinse the rice, and add to the pot. Stir in the other ingredients, cover and bring just to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, usually it takes about an hour. The rice will have cooking time on the pkg. Remove from heat, cool for 10 minutes and stir with a fork.
