Best 7 Moroccan Brown Rice Rice Cooker Recipes

SPICY MOROCCAN RICE WITH TOMATOES AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat the broth to nearly boiling, then hold warm over low heat.
• In a deep skillet or heavy bottomed pot placed over medium heat, saute the rice, onions and peppers in the oil. When the rice begins to brown, add the garlic and tomatoes. Cook for several minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add the broth, tomato paste, cilantro and spices. Bring the liquids to a boil then reduce the heat, cover the pan, and simmer gently for 25 to 30 minutes without stirring, until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquids.
• Remove the rice from the heat and lightly stir with a fork to fluff the rice and mix the vegetables throughout. It should still be a little saucy; if not, gently mix in a few tablespoons of hot water. Cover and leave the rice sit for at least five minutes before serving.

SPICY MOROCCAN RICE

Steps:

• Coat chicken with the Moroccan spice. Fry the onion in butter until soft.
• Tip in the chicken, then cook for a few mins more. Stir in the rice and apricots, then pour in the stock cube with 700ml boiling water and the chickpeas.
• Cover the pan and simmer for 10 mins until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Toss in the chopped flat leaf parsley and serve.

BROWN RICE WITH MISO (RICE COOKER)

Steps:

• Dissolve the miso in 1/4 cup of the water.
• Combine the dissolved miso and remaining ingredients in the rice cooker bowl.
• Set the machine for the regular or brown rice (if you have one) cycle.
• When the machine switches to 'keep warm', set a timer for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, fluff the rice with the plastic paddle or a wooden spoon.
• Discard the ginger and serve, or leave on the 'keep warm' setting for up to 2 hours.

BROWN RICE IN THE RICE COOKER

Steps:

• Spray your rice cooker pot with a non-stick cooking spray. This works wonders at keeping your rice from sticking and burning.
• Add your brown rice and water. While the typical rice-to-water ratio for white rice is one part rice to two parts water, brown rice works better if you go with one part rice to two and a half parts water.
• Add salt to taste.
• On a cutting board, press the flat edge of a knife on the cloves of garlic to squash them. Remove and discard the papery skin and drop the smashed cloves into the cooker.
• Add olive oil.
• Cover the pot and turn on the cooker. Expect brown rice to take a little longer to cook than white rice (about 30 to 40 minutes instead of 20).
