Orange almond brown rice (no-tofu)

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 teaspoons Olive oil
1 Shallot; minced
2 tablespoons Slivered almonds
2 cups Instant brown rice
1½ cup Water
¾ cup Fresh orange juice
¼ teaspoon Fresh orange zest
¼ teaspoon Salt

Directions

IDEA - Instant brown rice is convenient but lacks the deep, satisfying nutty flavor of regular brown rice. Orange and almonds make a difference.

1) Heat the oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the shallot, stirring often, until the shallot is translucent, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the almonds and stir 1 minutes. Stir in rice until combined.

2) Add water, orange juice, orange peel and salt and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed.

Let stand 1 to 2 minutes, then stir and serve.
