Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup long or short grain brown rice
6 cups water
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

Using a strainer, rinse the rice under cold water, then drain it completely. (Here's why.)
In a saucepan over high heat, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice and stir. Continue to boil uncovered until tender, with the water bubbling rapidly, for 20 minutes. Start tasting at 18 to 20 minutes: if the rice is tender, remove the heat. If not, keep cooking 5 to 10 minutes more until the rice is tender. (All rice types and brands are slightly different, so you'll have to adjust according to the specific rice. Ours is usually done in around 18 to 25 minutes.)
Pour the rice into a strainer, then return it to the pot. Cover the pot and allow the rice to steam for 5 minutes. Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork. Stir in the salt.

2 cups chicken broth or 2 cups water
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped yellow onion
3 garlic cloves, minced

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.
