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.

Very good base recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love brown rice, but up until I came across this recipe I haven't had much success cooking it. Either under cooked or over... cooked. This recipe can be altered to suit whatever you may wish to add. I added a boullion cube and two crushed garlic cloves to the water. I'm extremely pleased with the results. So easy.Read more

Easy Baked Brown Rice
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was easy and afforded little kitchen time. I fixed mine with a cast Iron skillet, turned out great.

I Finally Found A Brown Rice Dish I Love
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have tried to find a good brown rice recipe for a very long time. This recipe is far better than I ever hoped to find! I... used low sodium vegetable broth in place of the water and added a little garlic. I never thought about baking brown rice, but it is absolutely delicious.Read more

The rice came out perfect! I have tried and tried to get this perfect rice for a while now (since I'm no longer using minute... rice). I'm amazed, thank so much for this recipe. I wonder if this would work this well on brown basmati rice?Read more
