2 1/4 cups | water |
1/4 tsp | salt |
1/2 cup | long grain brown rice |
2 tsp | unsalted butter |
1/2 tsp | dried rosemary |
1 large | shallot (finely minced) |
1 ounce | raw pecans (roughly chopped) |
In a medium sauce pan, heat the water and salt. When the water boils, stir in the brown rice.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, for about 45 minutes.
Do not boil away all of the liquid and do not stir the rice.
When a very small amount of liquid remains, remove the pan from the burner and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
Place the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. When the butter is melted, crush the rosemary and add it to the pan.
Cook for about 1 minute, then add the shallots, stir, and cook for about 3 minutes.
Add the pecans, stir, and cook for about 3 minutes.
Add the rice, stir, and serve.
