Brown Rice Stuffing

I love stuffing but wheat doesn't love me! this is made from ingredients on my current plan, if you have different stuffing add-ins that you love, feel free to add them in, nuts or raisins or lean sausage would all be yummy.

This makes 5 servings for my current calorie allowance.

Ingredients:

5 tsp olive oil
2 1/2c chopped celery
1 2/3c chopped green onions (I chopped 3 bunches)
1 tbsp garlic
1 tbsp dried parsley
1 tsp dried sage
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried rosemary
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tbsp paprika

4c cooked brown rice

1c chicken broth or boullion

In a medium nonstick pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. add celery and saute until satrting to soften. Add green onions and herbs/spices and saute 2 minutes. Add rice and stir and cook to blend and heat through. Add broth and cover, turn heat to low and cook 5 minutes, until rice fluffs up and softens. Salt to taste.

1 serving is about 7 1/4 oz or just over a cup.
