| 3 tbsp. | extra virgin olive oil | 45 mL |
| 1/3 cups | diced onion | 75 mL |
| 2/3 cups | diced cremini or shitake mushrooms | 150 mL |
| 1-1/2 tbsp. | minced fresh thyme | 20 mL |
| 1-1/2 tbsp. | minced fresh oregano | 20 mL |

| 2 cups | uncooked whole grain brown rice | 500 mL |
| 5 cups | broth, vegetable or chicken | 1.25 L |
| 3 oz. | toasted pine nuts | 75 g |
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3 minutes until tender. Add the mushrooms and herbs and sauté 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the rice and stir to coat; cook until the rice is lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Add the broth, stir briefly to moisten the rice, bring to a simmer, cover with a tight fitting lid and bake in a 350 F oven for 40 minutes, or simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, until the broth has been absorbed. Toss in the pine nuts and adjust the seasoning.
