Confetti Rice Pilaf With Toasted Flaxseed
- 1/4 cup flaxseed
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup uncooked basmati or long-grain rice

- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Place flaxseed in a small nonstick skillet; cook over low heat 5 minutes or until toasted, stirring constantly. Place flaxseed in a blender; process just until chopped.
- Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat until hot. Add onion; cook over medium heat 3 minutes or until tender. Add rice. Cook 1 minute; stir constantly. Stir in broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 20 minutes or until rice is tender. Remove from heat; fluff with fork. Stir in flaxseed and remaining ingredients.
