Instructions: IDEA - Instant brown rice is convenient but lacks the deep, satisfying nutty flavor of regular brown rice. Orange and almonds make a difference.

1) Heat the oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the shallot, stirring often, until the shallot is translucent, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the almonds and stir 1 minutes. Stir in rice until combined.

2) Add water, orange juice, orange peel and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. Let stand 1 to 2 minutes, then stir and serve.
