I got this recipe form the Food Network (Alton Brown). I tried this last week and it was really Yummy!!
I omitted the Salt and the butter to make it more FS friendly.
I also added vegetable stock instead of the water.

The rice was so fluffy and delicious. I was getting tired of plain brown rice, it helped to get me over a slump.


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

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

Ooh, that sounds like a good method! Plus I trust anything from Alton.

Thanks so much for posting that - I'll try it tonight.

I've tried this recipe several times and it is SO simple and works everytime. My Puerto Rican BF, who grew up on rice, loves it!

I've tried making brown rice before and I HATED it...but after I made this recipe I was eating it PLAIN! It was sooo good, I'm tempted to say that I actually like this brown rice better than white rice! This is super tasty and it goes well with the Creole Rice and Beans recipe in this forum too.
