Quick Brown Rice And Mushroom Pilaf

We all know that brown rice is healthier for you, but unless you add a few ingredients to it, it�s not very tasty. In fact, brown rice on its own has as much flavour as cardboard. This recipe adds so much good taste to brown rice that you�ll never want to go back to the white kind.
