Ingredients

1 cup brown rice
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon butter
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
⅓ cup thinly sliced celery
¼ cup seedless raisins
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Bring brown rice, chicken broth, butter, and bay leaf to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, 45 to 50 minutes; discard bay leaf.
Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in onion and ginger; cook and stir until the onion begins to brown on the edges, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cumin and coriander, then stir in the celery and raisins. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until the celery becomes tender, about 5 minutes. Once ready, stir the onion mixture into the cooked rice along with the soy sauce; season to taste with pepper.
