Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- 1 ½ cups long grain brown rice
- ⅓ cup sliced almonds
- 3 ½ cups low sodium vegetable or chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet or saute pan that has a lid, over MEDIUM-LOW heat. Add the rice and almonds and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes to lightly toast the rice. Add the broth and seasonings and increase the heat under the skillet as needed to bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to LOW, cover the pan, and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring once or twice towards the end of the cooking time. Cook until the broth has been absorbed and the rice is fluffy.
- Stir in the parsley and remove from the heat.
