PERFECT OVEN-BAKED BROWN RICE
I got this one from "The Best Recipe" by Cook's Illustrated. It's a very easy way to make brown rice that comes out perfect every time. No more sticky, clumpy, waterlogged goop! This rice is tender and separate and delicious. Notice that the ratio of water to rice is much less than the oft-quoted 2 to 1. This is the key to this recipe, so make sure to measure carefully.

Steps:
- Place oven rack in middle position. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Bring the water to a boil. Keep the water covered as it boils so you don't lose too much as steam.
- When the oven is at 375, put the water, rice, and salt into an ovenproof pot with a tight-fitting lid. I have successfully used pyrex dishes and cast-iron dutch ovens. If you don't have a good lid, you can also use a double layer of foil. Just make sure it's sealed well around the edges.
- Pop it in the oven.
- The rice is done when it is tender and the water is all gone. It usually takes an hour. When it's done, fluff it with a fork and serve. Yum! So simple and good!
OVEN BAKED SWEET AND SAVORY BROWN RICE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the brown rice, vegetable stock, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pepper, brown sugar, ginger and dates to a metal baking pan and mix with your hands to make sure all of the ingredients are distributed evenly. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the pan from the oven, transfer the rice to a serving bowl and serve.
Tips:
- Use the right type of rice: Medium-grain brown rice is the best choice for this recipe, as it cooks evenly and has a slightly chewy texture. Short-grain brown rice can also be used, but it may take a little longer to cook.
- Rinse the rice before cooking: This will remove the starch from the surface of the rice, which helps to prevent it from sticking together.
- Use a large baking dish: The rice will need plenty of room to spread out so that it cooks evenly.
- Don't stir the rice while it's cooking: Stirring the rice can break the grains and make it mushy.
- Cover the rice tightly with foil: This will help to create a steamy environment that will help the rice cook evenly.
- Let the rice rest before serving: This will give the rice time to absorb all of the liquid and fluff up.
Conclusion:
Oven-baked brown rice is a healthy and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover brown rice. With its nutty flavor and chewy texture, oven-baked brown rice is a surefire hit with everyone who tries it.
