Provided by Julesong

Categories     Grains

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup short grain brown rice or 1 cup white rice
2 cups chicken broth or 2 cups water
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped yellow onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup broken pecans
2 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Using chicken broth [or water for Vegetarian], cook the rice according to the package directions.
  • About 15 minutes before the rice is ready, melt the butter in a skillet over medium low heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and saute', stirring often, until the onion is very soft and begins to color, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and the pecan meats; saute' over medium heat, stirring, until the nuts and onions are golden and the garlic is tender.
  • After done cooking, let the rice stand, covered, for 5 minutes; spoon rice into a bowl, spoon the onions and pecans on top, and fluff with a fork or a chopstick.
  • Garnish with the green onions.
  • Makes 4 servings.
  • This is also good with other types of nut, such as pine nuts, pistachios, and walnuts, and also made with a mixture of white and wild rice; sliced mushrooms are also a good addition.

Tips:

  • Soak the rice: Soaking the rice for 30 minutes before cooking helps to reduce the cooking time and results in a more tender and fluffy texture.
  • Use the right ratio of rice to water: The ratio of rice to water is important for achieving the perfect consistency. For brown rice, a ratio of 1:2 (1 cup rice to 2 cups water) is a good starting point.
  • Cook the rice over low heat: Cooking the rice over low heat helps to prevent the rice from becoming mushy and overcooked.
  • Add aromatics and seasonings: Adding aromatics like onions, garlic, and pecans to the rice helps to enhance the flavor. You can also add herbs and spices like cumin, paprika, or oregano for extra flavor.
  • Fluff the rice before serving: Fluffing the rice with a fork before serving helps to separate the grains and give the rice a light and fluffy texture.

Conclusion:

Brown rice with onions, garlic, and pecans is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins, and it can be easily customized to suit your taste preferences. With these tips, you can make perfect brown rice every time.
