We love this healthy brown rice pilaf from Gourmandelle Lifestyle Blog that's low-fat but doesn't skimp on flavor. This easy recipe is delicious topped with fresh chopped green onions and parsley, or top with your favorite combination of herbs. It's great as a simple dinner with sautéed broccoli or bok choy, or served as a side dish.

	2 cups water
	sea salt, to taste
	1/3 tsp ground pepper
	Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion and sliced mushrooms for 5 minutes.

	Add water.
	Bring to a boil, then simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and cover with a lid. Let it rest until all liquid is absorbed.
