This oven-baked brown rice is a staple that goes along with so many meals, and it's so easy!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups brown rice, 300 g
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
- 2 ½ cups chicken broth, 20 fluid ounces; gluten free if necessary
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or coconut oil, 14 g
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°. Place the raw rice and optional minced garlic into an 8 inch square glass Pyrex baking pan. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the broth, butter, and salt to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- After it comes to a boil, remove from heat and pour over the rice. Stir to combine, then cover the dish tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 1 hour.
- After one hour, remove aluminum foil and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve immediately or add to whatever casserole or main dish you are making.
Notes
I include the garlic when the meal I'm serving this with would be complemented by it. It adds just a hint of garlic flavor. If you want to have a strong garlic flavor, then add more garlic.
