I just made this for dinner, and holy crap it tasted really good. I followed the recipe to a tee, except I didn't use any butter at all. Ridiculously easy to make. It wasn't too firm, it wasn't mushy, it kept its brown color, perfect!!!

    Ahhh Thank you!! :flowerforyou:

    I have been trying to make myself eat brown rice forever but I can never get it to turn out better than disgusting and I end up throwing most of it away.

    Hopefully making it this way will help me out. :drinker:

    I've been wanting to eat more whole grain foods such as brown rice. I grew up on white rice and it was always loaded with tons of salt, butter, etc. I think I am going to try this recipe with a few adjustments - olive oil instead of butter, NO SALT (sodium-free salt) instead of the kosher salt and maybe add some sodium-free bouillon cubes to the water (for extra flavor). The recipe looks so simple and got excellent reviews. Can't wait to try it this weekend.

    You don't need to boil the water first, just put the rice water (shredded carrot and shopped onion if desired) in a covered casserole dish (or pan covered with aluminum foil) and bake for an hour or a bit more. I put everything in the oven when I left for work and asked my daughter to turn on the oven an hour before dinner and it was ready when I got home.

    Has anyone tried sprouting brown rice? You can do it with some of the brown rice that still has a hull. It just takes a few days, and it tastes really good and boost the nutrition! http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/04/15/cooking-with-sprouted-brown-rice/
