Easy Salsa (spanish) Rice
1 small to medium onion, diced
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil
2 Cups low sodium chicken broth
2 cups brown rice
1 cup your favorite salsa
Optional: 1 cup diced zuchinni and/or 1 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
saute the onion in the oil in a large sauce pan until soft. Add chicken broth, rice and salsa (and optional zuchinni and bell pepper). Cook over medium heat until rice is tender.
Easy peasy! and SUPER delicious!
I have also added diced cooked chicken breast to this or even ground beef. Makes a great side or main dish.0 -
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.0

Tonight I cooked up some Rice Select Royal blend (mix of white, brown, and red rice) in beef broth. As it finished cooking I added a block of Laughing Cow for a little richness, and also a little ground cumin. It was delish and satisfying.0

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..0 -
I use it under things like under curry, under Ala King Supreme, etc. Nevr tried it plain except for Spanish Rice. It goes great in Stuffed Peppers, too.

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!0

Under my sweet and sour stir fry. It's SUPER easy to make!!
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup light soy sauce (I usually fill the 1/2 cup just over half way and top it off with water)
3-4 garlic cloves
chicken or beef, sliced
carrots, broccoli, whatever other veggies you'd like
Mix the liquids together in wok, and then add the rest, bring to a boil and then reduce heat, simmer until veggies are cooked, thicken with either flour and water or cornstarch and water
Serve over rice. Yum!0 -

Brown rice is a staple with me, I put chunky salsa in it, I'll mix broccoli or peas with it and cook in low-salt chicken bouillon, I also cook it in bouillon instead of plain water, might add black beans and diced tomatoes. Sometimes I do the above and mix diced chicken breast for a complete meal or cook it with double the liquid to make a brown rice soup with vegs.0

I'll be watching this thread bc I don't care to much for brown rice even though i know it's better for me. The steamable brand of brown rice is not to bad but the ones I have to "cook" myself...ooh....0

You can buy already seasoned canned black beans ( Cuban style, Jalapeño Lime, etc). For a quick dinner toss the rice, black beans, chicken or turkey sausage together. Add toppings if you wish like cheese, plain Greek yogurt, or sour cream.0

I cook my brown rice with chicken broth if I'm doing a savory dish. You can get low sodium and low fat/fat free. I use the low fat kind.
Then I make my spicy black beans and serve those over top with a crumbling of low fat feta.

also, you can cook it in a slow cooker. SO MUCH EASIER0

I do a couple different things:
1) Dice up an onion very fine, and throw in a packet of Lipton's Onion Soup Mix.
2) Juice of 1 lime, course sea salt, and when it's done, add cilantro and fluff! (If you've ever had Chipotle's rice it tastes VERY similar) If you use Basmati rice instead of brown rice it's identical.0
