1
Rinse Brown Rice
Start by rinsing the brown rice under cold water in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and ensures fluffier rice.
2
Chop Onion
Peel the onion and chop it into small, even pieces to ensure it cooks uniformly.

3
Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of rinsed brown rice with 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
4
Sauté the Onion
While the rice is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of pure olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and slightly golden.
5
Combine and Season
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed onion. Stir to combine. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.
