How do you "dress up" your brown rice?

I don't use any sauces but do cook my brown rice with seasoned broth instead of water

That's pretty much what I do. If you can handle the sodium, pop a bouillon cube or two in the water. Really does make a difference. Only way I can get my hubby to eat brown rice.

i mix mine with salsa!

Cook in low-sodium chicken broth. I know you said you don't really cook, but this is pretty simple... While it's cooking, cut up an onion, garlic, and some sundried tomatoes; sautee for 5 minutes or so. If you like pine nuts, throw those in too. Mix the rice in when it's done for about a minute. Top with a bit of feta or parmesan. Sooo good.

I like to put it on salads and the salad dressing adds great flavor, I especially like wishbone basil and ????? something lite vinaigrette and/or french's honey mustard. OH or salsa!!

I mix in frozen peas and corn if I just want something quick. If I have more time, I'll chop up some mushrooms, zucchini and carrots or broccoli. The more veggies in my rice, the longer I feel that I'm eating my fill of starch! I also cook my rice with vegetable broth for more flavor.

I make brown rice a lot of different ways, sometimes I use broth, but lately I've been cooking mine in a steamer and I always make extra.

This last batch I made in order to make a recipe for Black Bean Sweet Potato Burgers which called for some cooked brown rice. (Here's the link http://lizdialto.com/veggieburgerrecipe the recipe totally rocked.)

With the leftovers I used some of the brown rice is a lentil dish I made: Lentils, Rice, Sweet Potatoes, Raisins, Mustard Greens. (no recipe for this one, it was also super yummy but off the cuff.)

Yesterday I finished off the rice batch by making a salad with romaine, corn, black beans, cooked brown rice, grape tomatoes and cilantro. I ate it with some homemade vinaigrette.

I cook quite a bit and the more you cook the more you realize you can do with stuff like brown rice. It's great with cooked greens and sweet potatoes. I don't usually "sauce" it like you are asking but rather I usually incorporate it into a meal or another dish.

But what about curries? You can do all sorts of things with curries over rice. Or rice and beans, Or rice pudding, yum. I do all of that and more.

Good luck!

I dress mine up in a coat with the tie being optional.

Why not do stir fry? Olive oil, garlic, low sodium soy sauce and a few veggies left over in your fridge to toss in there.

This is a good idea add an egg and you have homemade fried rice.

I put a little lemon juice on any rice, I love lemon juice, sometimes I put a simply oil and vinegar dressing on it, like maybe a tsp or two, even like a little greek dressing and feta with cucumber, I find it refreshing.

I have to try this!!

Yum yum!!

Saute whatever vegetables you have handy and toss them in with the rice. Nuts are good too.

Can of Rotel tomatoes and green chiles.

our new fav way is cooking it in the normal amt of water but add a few shots of mushroom soy sauce....it is incredible.

I add franks red hot or sriacha...easy and delicious!!

I used to eat my b rice with salsa, cubed chicken in a wrap...or instead of salsa ,,,red chili sauce.

Or a can of tuna, salad and fresh dill..

I like to put some salsa on it! I usually have brown rice and black beans with salsa, and I sometimes add lettuce, cheese, and guacamole and make it like a burrito bowl. It's pretty easy to throw together and relatively inexpensive!
