Directions

  1. Bring the brown rice and 1 1/2 cup of water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and almost all the liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes. Mash the cranberry sauce in a small bowl with a fork until almost smooth, and stir the sauce into the brown rice, mixing well to tint the rice a slight pink color. Cover, and let steam for about 5 minutes.

  2. Place the dried cranberries into a microwave-safe bowl, and cook on high setting in a microwave oven just until hot, about 30 seconds. Stir the cranberries into the rice. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, serve sprinkled with pecans.

Recipe Note

Depending on what you use for rice, this can be a EXTREMELY easy recipe that can compliment any entree from turkey to chicken or even fish! Save time by using precooked, bagged rice pilaf mix;add a few dashes of garlic powder and grated Parmesan, if you like!
