Brown Rice Pilaf

Since I was using my pressure cooker already for the meat, I decided to just cook the rice on the stove. lt had been a long time since I had done that. I was very pleased with the results. It turned out very light, it was a wonderful pilaf. This too was a popular item. (Like the roast yesterday) I think only about 1 cup was left.
I served this with the roast I posted yesterday. It makes a great combo.

Ingredients:
2 1/2 C brown rice
5 C water
1 small can of chopped mushrooms or fresh
2-3 minced garlic
1 T thyme
1/2 T butter
1 T olive oil
salt and pepper to taste after it is cooked.

Directions:

1. Pour water into pan. Pour in the rice. Bring to boil.

2. While the water is preparing to boil, get a small frying pan. Pour olive oil and mushrooms and garlic into pan. Saute for a couple minutes.

3. Then when water boils add the mushroom mixture, and butter. Stir and let cook on med. to low heat. (You can add another 1/4 to 1/2 C water if it is too dry before it is done. It is done when it fluffs up, and nice and tender.

*I have been happy with the Lundberg Family Rice brand.

* I had leftovers for lunch today and mixed it with a bunch of vegetables. Still very light and good.
