Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion chopped, small
3 garlic minced, cloves
1 cup long-grain brown rice not instant
2 1/2 cups chicken broth low-sodium, or vegetable broth
salt to taste
black pepper to taste

Instructions

Cup of Yum

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion and garlic until the onion is translucent and golden, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the brown rice and sauté for an additional 1 minute to lightly toast the grains.
Pour in the broth, season with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a boil. Then, cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and let it simmer.
Allow the rice to cook undisturbed until it is tender and the liquid has been mostly absorbed, which should take about 45-50 minutes. If the rice appears dry during cooking, add a little water as needed.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat, uncover, and let the rice stand for 5 minutes to finish absorbing any remaining liquid before fluffing with a fork and serving.
