2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 sm. onion, chopped
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 c. uncooked brown rice
3 c. water
1 c. peas (fresh or frozen)
2 tbsp. lime juice
Salt to taste
Lemon or lime wedges
Grated Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
Sour cream
Salsa

Heat oil in saucepan, saute onion and garlic for 5-6 minutes. Add rice and saute another 2-3 minutes. Add water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and cook until water is absorbed 35-45 minutes.

Just before rice is done, add peas, but do not stir. The steam will cook and they will be bright green. Stir in lime juice and salt to taste. Serve with lemon or lime wedges, top with grated cheese or a dollop of sour cream, or try with salsa.
