Brown rice pilaf recipe

Makes about 5 1/2 cups (6 to 8 servings)
Deciding on the right side dish to serve is sometimes more challenging than  choosing an entree.
I lean heavily on the versatile rice pilaf: a rice dish cooked with  vegetables, beans and/or spices. Here, a small amount of spicy chorizo entices my family to eat chickpeas and brown rice. Both  fresh and cooked versions work well in this recipe.
Ingredients for brown rice pilaf recipe
1 teaspoon mild olive oil or vegetable oil
4 ounces fresh chorizo, casings removed; or 3 ounces smoked, cooked chorizo,  cut into quarters lengthwise, then thinly sliced

1 cup raw long-grain brown rice
