Brown rice is in...it's a whole grain that is good for you. But many people don't enjoy the crunchy texture of brown rice, preferring the softness of white rice. This recipe makes a brown rice that is softer in texture. Ingredients:
3 quarts water |
large pinch salt |
1 cup long or medium grain brown rice |
1 tablespoon butter, optional |
3 tablespoons minced parsley, optional |
Directions:
1. Bring the water to a boil in a 4 -5 quart pot; add salt and rice. Give it a good stir. Once the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the rice is just cooked. Drain into a sieve. Place 2 cups water back into the pot; bring to a boil. Place the sieve over the boiling water, (it is best if the sieve fits nicely into the pot); cover and steam 10 minutes. Put rice into a serving dish, fluff with a fork, add butter and parsley, if using, and serve.
