1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups boiling water
1/2 cup uncooked regular rice
1 pimiento, diced
1/4 cup chopped pecans or pistachio nuts

Stir brown rice and salt into boiling water in large heavy saucepan; cover; simmer 20 minutes. Stir in regular rice; cover again; simmer, stirring once or twice with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until rices are tender and water is absorbed. Stir in pimiento and nuts; heat, shaking pan gently, 1 to 2 minutes to dry and fluff rice.
