Basic Brown Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a medium sauce pan with a tight fitting lid, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 50 minutes. Please don't lift the lid to give a peek or stir or the rice will not cook evenly.
• Remove pan from the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes?{once again, no peeking. Fluff with a fork and serve.
• Over medium-high heat, let the water steam the vegetables until warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir into hot rice just after fluffing it with a fork.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a 2 quart casserole dish combine rice, broth, soup, butter, Worcestershire sauce and basil.
• Bake covered for 1 hour, stirring once after 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Rinse the starch off the rice in a strainer under cold water for 30 seconds.
• Bring the water to a boil over high heat in a large pot that has a tight fitting lid.
• Add the rice, stir it just once, and boil, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
• Pour the rice into a strainer over the sink and drain for 10 seconds.
• Return the rice to the same pot, off the heat.
• Cover immediately and set aside for 10 minutes (this is the steaming part).

Steps:

• Put water in a medium sauce pan that has a lid.
• Add salt and rice and stir once.
• Heat to a full rolling boil.
• Place lid on pan and reduce heat to simmer (my stove only does a very "high" simmer).
• Simmer for 20 minutes. *Do not lift lid or stir.*.
• Turn off heat. *Do not lift lid or stir.*.
• Let sit at least 10 minutes before serving. The longer you let it sit, the more the rice improves. I often lift the lid and fluff-stir the rice at 10 minutes, then replace the lid and let the rice rest while I prepare the rest of the meal.
