Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 1/4 cup onion minced
  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup broccoli florets chopped
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup cream or half-and-half

Instructions
 

  • In a medium frying pan, saute the onions over medium-high heat until soft.
  • Add the rice, and lightly saute for 2 – 3 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Add the chicken stock, stir, and cover. Add sea salt to taste, or about 1/2 tsp. (you can add more later if needed). This will cook with occasional stirring for about 30 – 40 minutes until the rice is almost done. It should look “puffy,” and the grains should split open.
  • When the rice is almost cooked, stir in the chopped broccoli florets.
  • Add the cheese and the cream (or half and half).
  • Stir this together, and allow the cheese to melt — just a minute or two.
