- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 cup dry, long-grain brown rice
- 14 oz can chopped tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1-1/2 cups water
To make this dish, you will need a sauce
pan with a tightly fitting lid. Heat the
olive oil in a skillet. Add the onion and
sautè it until it becomes fragrant, and
translucent (see-through). Add the rice and
continue to sautè until the rice toasts a
little bit. This should only take a couple
of minutes. Next add the tomatoes, salt,
pepper and water. Stir it all up and bring
it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and put
the lid on. Simmer over low heat for about
45 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
This makes a great side dish or even a main
dish for lunch or supper. If you are using
it as a main dish, serve it topped with a
fried egg, whole grain muffins and a tall
glass of milk. This is a simple dish, but is
tastes very good, especially when the cook
is tired, and the wind is howling outside.
Serves 6 as a side dish, or 4 as a main
dish. When I make this as the main supper
dish for the whole family, I double the
recipe so no one leaves the table hungry.
