Servings: persons

2 tablespoon coconut oil
1 1/2 cups short-grain brown rice
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon bourbon whiskey
6 1/2 cups mushroom broth or vegetable broth, heated
1 cup broccoli stems, peeled, small diced
1 cup asparagus, no tips, small diced
1 cup fresh peas
3 green onions, green parts only, sliced
1 cup shredded aged goat cheese
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 orange, juiced (about 1/2 cup)
Salt and pepper

1
Melt the coconut oil in a 10-inch, high-sided saute pan over medium heat.
2
Add the brown rice, stir to coat, and allow to toast, about 1 minute.
3
Carefully (in case it flames) add the 1/4 cup bourbon, stirring to fully incorporate.
4
Once the bourbon is mostly absorbed, add the broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly.
5
Wait until the liquid has evaporated, before adding another 1/2 cup.
6
(You will have to babysit this a bit, but just be patient.)
7
After you have added about 4 cups of the broth, add the broccoli, asparagus and peas.
8
Continue adding the broth in 1/2 cup increments; you will notice the mixture starting to thicken.
9
Stir and add the remaining broth.
10
When the rice is tender, after about 45 minutes, stir in the goat cheese, orange zest, orange juice, and the remaining 1 tablespoon bourbon.
11
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
12
Serve immediately.
