This is comfort food at its finest. For a little crunch, add some toasted almonds or pine nuts. Serve with Simplest Roast Chicken Ever.

Brown rice can be so dull. But not with this prep! I used some basil infused olive oil in the saute. Very colorful and would make an excellent side dish to prepare for guests. Will definitely make again.

I love brown rice. This was simple to make and you can change and add ingredients to your liking.

This was a nice accompaniment to roasted salmon and asparagus. I had a little piece of red bell pepper to use up so I added that and also some toasted almonds . I had minced the herbs but forgot to add them and it still had plenty of flavor. It was very pretty pilaf.
