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.
