Ingredients:

Serving

6 cups water
1 cup brown rice
2 tsp butter (or olive oil)
1 tsp table salt

Directions:

Bring water to boil in a large pot. Stir in rice, oil or butter, and salt. Simmer briskly, uncovered, until rice is almost tender, about 30 minutes.
Drain rice into a steamer basket that fits inside the pot. Fill pot with about 1 inch water and return to heat. Place basket of rice in pot; cover and steam until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
Scoop rice into a bowl and fluff gently with a fork.
Note: For easy cleaning of steamer, I sprayed it with a cooking spray.
