    I really like long grain brown rice...it has a nice chew and a great nutty taste. It was a bit of a learning process for me to prepare it properly...I get the best results pressure cooking it.

    Brown Rice Casserole

    1 T. olive oil
    1 large onion, chopped
    1 c. brown rice
    2 ½ c. ff chicken broth
    1 t. salt
    ¼ t. pepper
    dash cinnamon

    heat olive oil in large skillet. Saute onion in oil till golden. Add rice, and saute until onion begins to brown. Add chicken broth and seasonings, bring to a boil. Transfer to casserole dish, and cover and bake at 350 degrees for one hour or until all liquid is absorbed.

    This is a little sweet from the cooked onions, and it has a bit of a creamy texture from the rice
