Easy Oven Chocolate-Brown Rice

We've been trying to swallow healthier lately, in addition to "nutrition empty" white rice has been replaced past times dark-brown rice at our house.

Before now, I have only had moderate luck making dark-brown rice. Not only do yous lead maintain to babysit dark-brown rice on a burner for 40-ish minutes, but the cease result can be a petty crunchy, (or worse yet), it tin give the axe be gummy in addition to sticky. Then, of course, at that topographic point is the dreaded layer of rice that always cements itself to the  bottom of the pan (insert frown here).... non fun!!

Well, my cooking friends, your dark-brown rice "issues" are over!! This super tardily method volition give yous fluffy dark-brown rice every time (with every grain cooked) in addition to NOTHING sticks to the pan....super easy!!

 

This recipe makes 3 cups of cooked rice, which is a lot of rice for smaller families. So, I divide the leftovers into 1/2 loving cup or 1 loving cup portions in addition to I freeze it. This means you can lead maintain dark-brown rice ready inwards a flash for a weeknight repast (or to add together to soups, etc.)

1 1/2 cups dark-brown rice
2 1/2 cups boiling water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter 
1 teaspoon kosher common salt (optional)

Preheat your oven to 375° in addition to spray an 8" ten 8" baking dish amongst vegetable spray.

Put the dry rice inwards the prepared baking pan.  Heat the water, butter in addition to common salt until it only comes to a boil, in addition to thence pour over the rice in addition to stir everything only plenty to larn the rice to an fifty-fifty degree inwards the pan. Then encompass the pan amongst aluminum foil.

COVER PAN TIGHTLY

I role heavy duty aluminum foil in addition to plication the edges tight on all 4 sides. It is of import that yous trap the steam inwards the pan.

Bake at 375° for ane hour. After an hour, take the pan from the oven in addition to lead maintain off the foil. Fluff the rice amongst a fork in addition to that's it!!

 

 

If yous aren't going to swallow the rice as shortly every bit it comes out of the oven, brand certain yous yet take the foil thence that the condensation doesn't drip dorsum into the rice.

ENJOY !!
