Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups water
1 1/2 cups long-grain brown rice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons coarsely chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • In a 2-quart heavy saucepan bring 4 cups water, seasoned with salt and pepper, to a boil. Stir in rice; cook, covered, over moderately low heat until water is completely absorbed, about 40 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat; fluff with a fork. Stir in chopped parsley and cilantro. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful broth. Using a flavorful broth will add depth of flavor to your rice. Try using vegetable or chicken broth, or even a combination of the two.
  • Add vegetables and herbs. Adding vegetables and herbs to your rice will boost its nutritional value and add flavor. Some good options include carrots, celery, onion, garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Cook the rice until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant to eat. To avoid this, cook the rice for the amount of time specified in the recipe, then taste it to make sure it is done to your liking.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. This will help to separate the grains of rice and make it light and fluffy.
