Baked Brown Rice

Lately my attempts at preparing the perfect brown rice have not been successful! I have tried several different methods and bought several different types of rice and still haven't gotten the results I was hoping for. One thing I did learn is nothing will work on the cheap Walmart brand brown rice! After a couple of failed attempts I turned to the internet for help. The winning advice comes from Alton Brown of the Food Network. I followed his recipe for Baked Brown Rice using rice I purchased at Winco from their bulk food bin. I have made it using this recipe a few times and each time had good results!


Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups brown rice, medium or short grain
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Place the rice into an 8-inch square glass baking dish.

Bring the water, butter, and salt just to a boil in a kettle or covered saucepan. Once the water boils, pour it over the rice, stir to combine, and cover the dish tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, remove cover and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve immediately.
