Ingredients

1 1/2 cups brown rice, medium or short grain
2 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Place the rice into an 8-inch square glass baking dish.

Bring the water, butter, and salt just to a boil in a kettle or covered saucepan. Once the water boils, pour it over the rice, stir to combine, and cover the dish tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, remove cover and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve immediately.

Best brown rice method there is
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Best brown rice ever! I use EVOO instead of butter, comes out perfect every single time. Sometimes i'll use broth, salsa,... rotel, italian stewed tomatoes, etc instead of some of the water to give different flavors. Read more

Works Great w/ Basmati
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I forgot that I needed short- or medium-grain rice for this and accidentally bought plain, brown basmati. I used less salt... than called for in the recipe but added a tsp of chicken bouillon, as my sister does, and it still came out delicious!! Read more
