Description

Brown rice is a nutritious and healthy alternative to white rice. It is a whole grain that is packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. This delicious brown rice recipe is simple to make and can be served as a side dish or as a main course.

Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

35-40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 2 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan with lid
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Wooden spoon

Method

  1. Place the brown rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water for 1-2 minutes to remove any dust or debris.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the brown rice, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to coat the rice in the spices.
