I got so tired of doing brown rice on the stovetop - messes from sputtery lidsz and boil-overs, burnt or stuck rice in the pot. But I really didn't want another appliance (rice cooker)... But this method is GREAT and foolproof! NO MESS, easy and you don't hav to watch like a hawk. I'm sure this would work for any kind of rice, but you'd have to adjust time and the amount of water. I'll never do brown rice on the stovvetop again! Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups brown rice |
2 3/4 cups water |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon olive oil |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Put water, rice, salt and oil in an oven-safe pot with a tight-fitting lid. (A dutch oven works great.) Bring to a boil on the stove.
3. AS SOON AS IT BOILS, remove from heat and put in the preheated oven.
4. Bake 30 - 35 minutes.
5. Remove from oven and fluff with a fork.
6. NOTE: It's okay if there seems to be a little bit of water left when you take it out of the oven; it will be absorbed as it sits.
7. NOTE 2: You can use more or less of the oil and salt as your taste and diet dictate, but using at least a little of each makes the rice taste better (the salt) and prevents the grains from clumping together (the oil).
