Broccoli Rice Pilaf





3/4 cups chopped onion
1/2 cup slivered almonds (Sometimes I like more!)
2 cups chopped broccoli
1 Tbsp. oil
2 cups chicken broth (I use 1 can of broth in a measuring cup, fill the rest of the cup up to 2 cups with water, add 4 bouillon cubes and microwave 2 minutes to dissolve the cubes.)
2 cups instant brown rice (some call for 1 3/4 cups of rice. Read box and use their proportions for liquid to rice).

Saute onion and almonds in the oil over medium heat. Add broccoli and stir util tender. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Add the rice, cover and *let simmer on low for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve. Serves 6.
*Follow instant rice box instructions for how long to cook rice and let rice stand.
