Brown Rice & Cranberry Pilaf

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup orange juice
1 1/2 cups instant brown rice
1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
2 tablespoon toasted almonds (optional)

Directions:

Boil the broth and orange juice in medium saucepan Stir in Rice and Cranberry sauce. Return to boil. Cover and reduce heat for 5 minutes Remove from heat and stir. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes Stir in the almonds (optional).

Serves: 5

Preparation time: 15-20 min.

Nutrition Information: Approx. 180 cals per serving and 1-3 grams of fat depending on whether you use the almonds or not. I make it without and it tastes delicious!!

A nice beginning, but is much improved by some herbs (rosemary is good, or a little dittany) and minced green chilies. Made this way, you could add textured soy protein or crumbled tofu and make it a meal; in fact, now I know what I want for dinner.

Its easy to make your own cranberry sauce, and you can control the amount of vegan sugar that way
