Re: Brown Rice Dishes
Hello, everyone. I'm new here but I'd like to contribute. The best way to make brown rice dishes taste good is to toast the rice. Place your saucepan on medium heat and put the dry brown rice in (don't pre-wash it). Stir and shake the rice around frequently as it browns to a uniform golden color. Stir often; don't let it burn. It will start to crackle and smoke a bit but that's no cause for alarm. When it browns, then you can wash it. What I do then is usually add vegetable stock, some tumeric, cumin, garam masala, basil, ground coriander, cashews, almonds, and vegetables and simmer for about 30 minutes. The toasting gives the brown rice a nice nutty flavor. I hope you enjoy this recipe.
