This is a wonderful rice dish, rich with flavor and textures. One of my favorite side dishes!

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked long grain brown rice or short grain brown rice or white rice

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.

I knew I was going to love this when I read the ingredient list. This is a very satisfying rice dish. I used a rice cooker with brown rice, water and a little vegetarian bouillion paste, then mixed in the sauteed ingredients when the rice was done. Go easy on the bouillion, though as the saltiness can easily overwhelm the delicate nutty flavor. This one's a keeper!

Very filling and satisfying. I had it with the pecans, and my husband had it without. Enjoyed 'em both.

Excellent rice side dish! I used Uncle Ben's whole grain brown rice (parboiled) and all chicken broth with walnuts. Very nice oniony, nutty flavour, with a hint of garlic. Rather than use as a side dish, on it's own, I stuffed tomatoes with it, then baked the tomatoes. they were all that was needed to go with our grilled chicken. Thanks for sharing a goodie!!
