My post about brown rice caused some controversy, bringing out people who think brown rice is yummy and those who, well, don’t. Anyway, here’s an approximation of what I’ve made the last time or two I’ve cooked brown rice:
1 1/2 cups brown rice
2 1/2 cups chicken broth or stock
1 chipotle pepper packed in adobo sauce, finely minced (use 2 if you prefer!)
2-3 cloves of garlic, finely minced or put through a garlic press
1 t. dried cilantro
1 t. dried oregano
2 t. salt, seasoning salt, cajun seasoning or Tiger seasoning (may be adjusted depending on saltiness of chicken broth)
1 T. olive oil
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Combine all ingredients in a round casserole dish with a heavy lid. Bake, covered, for 1 hour. Remove cover and fluff the rice with a fork.
