Description

Pair this rice with some grilled wild-caught salmon and have the most naturally omega 3-packed meal you’ve ever had!

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Preferred Cooking Oil
  • 1 cup Chopped Onion
  • 2 cups Cold, Cooked Brown Rice
  • ½ cups Chicken Broth
  • 2 teaspoons Chopped Fresh Rosemary (or 1 Teaspoon Dried)
  • 2 teaspoons Chopped Fresh Thyme (or 1 Teaspoon Dried)
  • 1 cup Chopped Walnuts, Pecans, Or Almonds
  • 1 whole Lemon, Zested (about 2 Teaspoon)
  • 2 teaspoons White Wine Vinegar
  • 1 whole Avocado, Peeled, Pitted, And Diced

Preparation

In a large skillet, saute onion over medium-high heat until onion begins to turn golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Reduce heat if onion scorches.

Add remaining ingredients (everything except the avocado). Stir well and cook over medium heat until everything is heated through and rice has absorbed all of the chicken broth.

Remove from heat and stir in diced avocado.

Makes about 4 servings. Great alongside grilled fish or chicken.

Sounds wonderful… I think this would work well as a summer dish, huh?

This is an excellent dish whenever you have leftover rice! I made extra rice the night before so I could prepare this dish tonight.

I loved it! My kids however gave it a pass. One didn’t like the nuts (and I only added 1/2 Cup) and the other didn’t like the avocado. I can do without the nuts, but the avocado must stay as it (along with the lemon zest) truly makes this dish as yummy as it is.

Also, if used as a side dish, it definitely feeds more than 4 people. More like 6 to me! I have a lot leftover but plan on eating it tomorrow for lunch. It’s such a healthy side dish and you feel healthier just for eating it!
