Delicious side dish that is easy to prep in advance of the dinner rush because it bakes over an hour and can be kept on warm until the rest of your meal is ready to serve. Ingredients:
1/2 cup pine nuts |
1/4 cup butter |
1 cup brown rice, rinsed and drained |
1/2 cup bulgur (cracked wheat) |
1 large onion, chopped |
1 cup fresh parsley, minced |
6 tablespoons fresh chives or 6 tablespoons scallions, finely minced |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
3 (14 ounce) cans beef or 3 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth |
Directions:
1. Saute the pine nuts in a medium-sized skillet with 2 tablespoons butter over moderate heat until browned, approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. To the same skillet add and melt the remaining butter. Add the rice, bulgur, and onion. Brown for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Spoon this mixture into a 2-quart casserole. Add 3/4 cup parsley, chives, salt, and pepper.
3. Bring broth to a boil and stir into rice mixture. Bake uncovered in a preheated 375 oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Garnish with the remaining parsley.
