Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 slices bacon
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus a pinch
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 recipe Baked Brown Rice, recipe follows
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 1/2 cups brown rice, medium or short grain
2 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • In a 10-inch saute pan over medium heat, fry the bacon until crisp. Drain, crumble, and set aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat.

  • After 1 hour, remove cover and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve immediately.
