I have been making this for years as a variation on the way my folks taught me how to make white rice. Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked brown rice |
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons olive oil (or a combination) |
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds |
1 small onion, chopped |
2 cups chicken broth (preferred) or 2 cups very hot tap water |
1 teaspoon salt (decrease or delete if chicken broth is salted, required with water) |
Directions:
1. Saute rice in butter just until translucent and very lightly browned.
2. Add onion and sesame seeds, and continue browning until onion is translucent, stirring frequently to prevent onion from burning.
3. Drain any excess butter or olive oil.
4. Add stock or water carefully to prevent steam burns; it WILL blow steam!
5. Adjust heat for a slow simmer, cover, and cook about 45-50 minutes, stirring gently every 15 minutes.
6. If all liquid is not absorbed, remove cover and continue cooking for up to another 15 minutes.
7. Fluff with a fork before serving.
