NO-FUSS PERFECT BAKED BROWN RICE

Nothing exotic here except perfect brown rice every time. I was surprised that there was no recipe for this already. I hated making brown rice on the stove top, so I have used this for almost 20 years. Smells like popcorn when it is baking. Be creative! Add spices to match any meal. Make a double recipe and you have the beginnings for a breakfast frittata or stir fried rice.

PERFECT OVEN-BAKED BROWN RICE



Perfect Oven-Baked Brown Rice image

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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 1/3 cups brown rice
5 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons vegetable oil

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!

KITTENCAL'S OVEN-BAKED BROWN RICE



Kittencal's Oven-Baked Brown Rice image

If you love brown rice then try this recipe, the rice bakes out perfect all the time! if you are using a highly-salted broth then you may want to reduce the salt slightly, for extra heat add in some cayenne pepper --- I also like to add in a few small bay leaves for added flavor ---- the recipe may be reduced to half, for vegetarian use vegetable broth or water and olive oil in place of butter --- this may also be made without the onion and garlic, see note on bottom.

Tips:

  • Rinse the rice thoroughly: This removes the starch and helps the rice cook evenly.
  • Use a tight-fitting lid: This helps to trap the steam and cook the rice evenly.
  • Do not stir the rice while it is cooking: This can break up the grains and make the rice mushy.
  • Let the rice rest for 5 minutes before serving: This allows the rice to absorb any remaining moisture 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 is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning, you can have perfect oven-baked brown rice on the table in no time.
