Brown Rice Recipes

I want to start adding more brown rice to my diet. I heard that brown rice can taste bland and chewy if not cooked correctly. What is the best way to cook it?

I saute a clove of garlic in the pot before adding the water. Sometimes I add some broth (organic free range chicken or veggie). I buy a blend of rice at Trader Joe's that is simply wonderful: Brown Rice Medley with Long Grain Brown Rice, Black Barley, and Daikon Radish Seeds. Even my roommate loves it. He's a dyed-in-the-wool white bread and white rice eater.

I generally eat it with salsa & beans (either black or garbanzo) with an ounce of light cheese. I also like to add it to soup. I make up a big pot of rice and put individual servings in little snack size bags which then go into a larger bag in the freezer. That way I've always got rice on hand.
