"Recipe published in the Oregonian's Food Day. *It calls for toasting the peanuts in the oven - but unless I'm using the oven for something else I toast them in a skillet, or use the toaster oven."

ingredients

¹⁄₄ cup onion, sliced or diced
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon margarine or 1 teaspoon butter
¹⁄₂ cup enriched long grain white rice, uncooked
1 cup low-sodium low-fat chicken broth
2 tablespoons unsalted peanuts, chopped
¹⁄₂ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 green onion, sliced
salt and pepper

directions

*Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cook onion with water in a nonstick skillet for 5 minutes; Add margarine and rice and cook several seconds until rice is coated with margarine.
Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer; Cover and continue to simmer 15 minutes, until rice is cooked through and liquid is absorbed.
Meanwhile, line a baking tray with foil and place chopped peanuts on foil and sprinkle with cayenne. Toast in oven 5 minutes (*I also just use a skillet to toast the peanuts).
When rice is cooked, stir in peanuts and green onions; Add salt and pepper to taste.
