Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup short grain brown rice (organic if possible)
1 1/4 cups water
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp olive oil

Directions:

Sauté rice with olive oil until the grains begin to turn opaque in a large pot with a tight fitting lid.
Add water, bouillon cube, and butter.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for approximately 20 minutes.
Add minced garlic and replace lid. Cook for another 10-15 minutes tasting rice for doneness.
You can cook it longer (up to 50 minutes) but I prefer a slightly chewy, nutty texture.
