Brown Rice with Garlic and Cashews

Ingredient:

4 tbsps. peanut oil
2 cups short-grain brown rice
4 1/2 cups water
salt
2 garlic clove, slivered lengthwise
1 cup broken unsalted cashews

Directions:

Heat 1 1/2 tbsps. oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the rice and saute, stirring, about 2 minutes. Add the water and 2 tsps. salt, and heat to boiling, stirring well. Cook, covered, over medium-low heat until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 45 minutes.
Just before the rice is cooked heat the remaining 2 1/2 tbsps. oil in a small heavy skillet over low heat. Add the garlic and saute gently until golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cashews and cook 1 to 2 minutes more.
Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Pour the cashew, garlic, and oil mixture over the cooked rice.
Toss with a fork and spoon into a serving dish.
Serves 6.
