Brown Rice Pilaf

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 small yellow onion (or green onion), chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup long grain brown rice (not instant)
2-1-2 cups fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
Salt & pepper, to taste



Directions:

* In a skillet, heat the oil over medium-heat.  Add onion & garlic.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is gold.  About 5 minutes

* Add the rice & sauté for about 1 minute

* Add the broth, and season with the sale & pepper.  Bring to a boil.  Cover & reduce heat to simmer.

* Simmer until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is gone (around 45 minutes).  Be sure to check the rice on occasion & add water if necessary.

* When the rice is done, uncover and let stand for about 5 minutes before serving.

NOTE: This rice will go wonderful with the grilled fish used in the fish taco recipe.
