Brown Rice, Peas & Pine Nuts

1/3 cup pine nuts
4 1/4 cups vegetable stock, boiling
2 cups short-grain brown rice
1 cup frozen green peas, cooked
3 Tbs chopped fresh chives
3 Tbs chopped fresh thyme
1 tsp minced garlic
1 Tbs liquid aminos

1) Place pine nuts in a small, dry saucepan, and toast over medium heat, shaking pan constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, or until nuts are lightly browned. Set aside.
2) Combine stock and rice in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 40 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
3) Remove from heat, and fold in green peas, chives and thyme. Stir in garlic and aminos. Top with toasted pine nuts; serve.

Review: I was afraid this was going to be a bland dish, but I forgot how tasty toasted pine nuts are. This was such a delicious dish, and so healthy! This one is definitely getting made again!
