Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • ½ Yellow Onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 cup Brown Rice long grain
  • 2 cups Vegetable Broth
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon Oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon Cumin
  • Black Pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup Pine Nuts toasted

Instructions
 

  • Saute the onion in a medium saucepan with olive oil over medium heat for 2 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Add the rice, broth, and spices. Bring to a boil and cover. Reduce heat, and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until all of the broth has been absorbed.
  • Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes. Remove cover, fluff with a fork, and stir in the toasted pine nuts.

Notes

Toasting pine nuts is easy! Add them to a dry small pan and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Be sure to stir them frequently to prevent burning.
Enjoy!
