* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
* 1 tablespoon butter

* 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
* 1 cup uncooked instant brown rice
* 1 cup vegetable broth
* 1 pound fresh broccoli florets
* 1/2 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS
* Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place walnuts on small baking sheet, and bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until toasted.
* Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic in melted butter for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the rice, add the broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 7 to 8 minutes.
