Recipe By: Jo Anne Merrill
Servings: 4

1 1/2 cups long-grain brown rice
3 cups water
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons corn oil
1 tablespoon ground cumin
black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
1/4 cup pine nuts

Soak brown rice in water at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Heat oil in a heavy skillet with tight-fitting lid. Add chopped onion and saute until golden brown and limp. Add rice and soaking water along with cumin and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cover. Cook at a simmer for about 20 minutes. Rice should be tender and water should be absorbed. When rice is done, add chopped parsley and pine nuts.
