Brown Rice Pilaf

A different twist on your usual brown rice...

Brown Rice Pilaf

1 cup brown rice (we used long grain, but I would imagine it working really well with short grain or even jasmine brown rice)

2 cups water

1 leek chopped into rounds or small slices (or ½ chopped onion)

3 stalks celery, chopped

2 carrots, chopped

coriander

cumin

dulse flakes (or other sea vegetable)

sea salt

olive oil

Heat some olive oil in a pot and stir in leeks, celery, and carrots. Add in spices, dulse, and sea salt. In a separate pot boil 2 cups of water. Add the dried brown rice to the leek-celery-carrot mixture and continue cooking on medium heat. Once the water boils, add into rice mixture. Then bring it down to a simmer and cover and cook for 40-50 minutes or until all water is absorbed.
