Ingredients

    1 medium onion, chopped
    4 large garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
    1 c. brown rice
    1 1/2 c. water
    1 c. salsa
    1/2 T olive oil
    1 t salt
    1/2 t black pepper


Directions

Sauté the onions for two minutes in the olive oil. Add the chopped garlic, rice, salt, and pepper and sauté for a few minutes, until the rice has started to lightly brown. Add water and salsa and bring just to a boil. Lower heat to simmer and cover. Cook for 20 - 25 minutes or until rice is done (contrary to popular belief, it's okay to check doneness sometime in the last 5 minutes - just do it once and be very quick about it!). Let rice rest, covered, for a few minutes before serving. 4 servings.
