Ingredients:

  • 1 cup long-grain brown rice
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onion tops

Preparation:

Prepare brown rice in medium saucepan, following package instructions.
About 15 minutes before the rice is done, melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened and begins to yellow, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, pecans, and green onion; sauté over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the onions are golden and the garlic is tender, about 5 minutes.
Remove rice from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Spoon brown rice into a bowl; spoon the onions and pecans on top and toss lightly to combine. Garnish with the chopped green onion tops.
Brown rice with onions and pecans serves 4.
