Rice Pilaf

Use vidalia onions or other sweet onions in season to add a nice flavor.

Ingredients:
2 TBS. butter
1 large sweet onion chopped
1 cup brown rice
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
dash cinnamon

Preparation:
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion in butter until tender and it begins to turn golden in color. Add rice and saute, stirring, until onions begin to brown. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Transfer to a covered baking dish or leave in the skillet if it is ovenproof. Cover and bake at 350 degress for 1 hour, or until rice is tender.

Notes: The original recipe calls for seasoned chicken broth, I prefer vegetable broth to have at least one dish at my house my brother-in-law can eat, and I think it always takes more than an hour to get the rice tender. The soup broth adds enough extra flavor that my kids don't mind eating brown rice, yummy and healthy.
