Rice with Sauted Onions and Leeks

I love leeks. I used brown rice instead of white rice making the simmer time 45-50 minutes. It was still very wet after that time, so I put the lid on only half way and let it simmer many more minutes to eliminate more moisture.

2 leeks
1/4 c. olive oil
1 c. onion, minced
1 tbsp. flour
1 tbsp. salt
1/2 tsp. sugar
4 c. water
1 c. rice, uncooked

1. Clean leeks. Slice into rounds.
2. Heat oil. Saute onions about 5 minutes.
3. Add flour, salt, and sugar and saute 1 minute.
4. Add rice and leek rings. Turn to coat.
5. Cover, reduce heat, simmer 20-25 minutes.
