Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 small sweet onion, diced

1 cup long grain brown rice (recommend Uncle Ben's Long Grain Brown Rice - not the quick or instant kind)

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt

1(4 ounce) can diced green chiles (optional)

Step 1

In a large skillet or sauce pan add oil, turn to medium-low heat and saute onion until tender, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and continue to saute one additional minute. Add remaining ingredients, cover, reduce heat and simmer on low for approximately 45 minutes or until rice has soaked up the liquid and is tender.
