Prep: Heat half the oil in a small, sturdy saucepan. When it is hot, add the on
ion, and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft
ened and lightly browned. Season with salt.

Cook: Add additional oil if needed to coat the rice. Add the rice, stir well,
then add the broth and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil,
cover, reduce the heat to very low, and cook for 30 minutes: rice will still b
e soupy. Add broccoli: place the broccoli on top of the rice (don't stir it in)
. Cover and cook over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes

Pat's Note: Tested with a brown rice blend (see pantry); frozen broccoli (thaw
ed); and mild and dry (low-fat) Swiss cheese. This makes a good meatless main d
ish or accompaniment to roasted (oven or pan) 'white meat' like chicken or pork
. -- original recipe revised and tested by patH.

Variations: Squash, asparagus, green beans, bok choy, chard, etc. may be cooke
d with the rice in the same manner.

Pantry: Lundberg Jubilee is a nutty, almost spicy blend of 7 brown rices to in
clude sweet, short, long, Wehani, (red basmati), Black Japonica. Cooks in about
50 minutes. One 1 cup yields about 2-1/4 cups.
