Brown Rice Pilaf

1 Tablespoon olive oil (more)
1 small onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup long grain brown rice (not instant)
2 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
salt and pepper to taste




1.  In a small skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.  Add onion and garlic and rice, sauté until rice begins to brown and onions are clear, about 5 minutes
2.  Add broth and season with salt and pepper, bring to a boil.  Cover and reduce heat to low.
3.  Simmer until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 45-50 minutes.  Check rice occasionally and add water if necessary.
4.  Uncover and let rice stand for 5 minutes before serving.
