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.
