One of the first recipes I learned as a kid
Take rice (works with brown too) and toast it in the pan first to get a bit of color on it (tough to see with brown rice but it will usually become opaque and you know you are getting close). It will start to smell nutty. Then take broth (either chicken or veggie) and a teaspoon of curry powder (or more if you like it - I would say 1 for every cup of rice is what I remember but I like a bit more) and cook the rice like you would normally (so 45 minutes for brown rice, 2 cups broth for every cup rice). When it is done you can add slivered almonds (I think the recipe said almonds or raisins but I can't recall off the top of my head - I never add either to be honest). It is from a microwave recipe book I had back in the late 70s and I wanted to help making dinner with my mom (I was like 8 or so at the time). It is easy to adapt to regular stovetop cooking just cook it based on the package. I haven't made it in a long time but it is super tasty (boyfriend is a high protein no carb guy - well, not no carb but only veggies) so we don't do a lot of rice anymore.0 -
I make very simple red beans and rice, basically you make the rice then add in a can of red kidney beans, and a can of stewed tomatoes. Then whatever seasoning, but I really like creole. I put it on everything, and it makes the rice taste a lot better.0

I am so confused -- are you looking for stuff to add to your brown rice to make it taste different than it does? Because if you want to enjoy eating it plain, but don't currently enjoy eating it plain, then this sounds like some sort of philosophical quest rather than a recipe request.
I like steamed brown rice as a side. I usually have it with meat, vegetables, or both -- not to cover the taste, but just because I don't think a plate of rice constitutes a well-balanced meal.0 -

I didn't read every post so sorry if I am repeating anything...
Why do you want to like plain brown rice? I do eat brown rather than white for the fibre, which is supposed to be good at helping with weight loss.
but still, 1/3 c brown rice is my serving size for dinner. Not much. If you really don't like the taste why not eat something you like better that is a lower glycemic carb so you can eat more of it? Like steamed cauliflower, or spaghetti squash... or maybe new potatoes, I haven't compared them directly to brown rice but I think 3 small new potatoes is more food than 1/3 c brown rice.0 -
are you allowed to have salsa or little tabasco hot sauce?0
