Ingredients

  • 2 cups long grain brown rice (Basmati has nice flavor)
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 tsp. salt Himalayan Pink is my favorite
  • 1 tsp. olive oil extra virgin, cold-pressed
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, crushed

Instructions

Stovetop -

  • Bring all ingredients, except rice, to a rolling boil in a heavy pan with tight fitting lid. Add rice, stir, cover pot tightly, and reduce heat to a constant but gentle simmer. Allow to cook on low heat without stirring until liquid is all absorbed. Takes about 1 hour. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes or so, then fluff with fork and stir.

Rice Cooker -

  • Place all ingredients in rice cooker and then cook using the brown rice setting (white rice setting may not completely cook the rice) according to instructions.

Notes

Keeps well in refrigerator for a week in airtight container. Re-warm by putting a tablespoon or two of water in bottom of pan, add cold rice, cover, and allow to steam for a few minutes.
