Brown Rice Pilaf

INGREDIENTS
1   cup brown rice
3   cups water
2   tablespoons olive oil
4   green onions, chopped, white and green parts
½  cup diced red bell pepper
3   cups sliced and chopped Crimini mushrooms
¼  cup water
3   tablespoons chopped pecans
½  teaspoon salt

METHOD

Cook the brown rice in the 3 cups of water until soft, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, bring the olive oil up to medium heat in a medium skillet, swirling to coat. Add the onions, bell peppers and mushrooms and simmer for 5 to 6 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add the water and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Remove from the heat until the rice is cooked.

When the rice is cooked, add it, the pecans and the salt to the skillet. Stir and continue to cook until heated through. Serve immediately.
