I never tried it before. So I put a single serving in my rice cooker, added water and set the timer.
When the timer was up, the rice was hot but barely cooked. I had to add more water and recook it again. this time it was OK, if slightly undercooked
Is that normal? Does brown rice need twice the water, and twice the time?
Brown rice is supposed to be more nutritious, but this isn't going to work for Mannn Cuisine.
Don't take this the wrong way, but...
Racist.
There, do you feel racist now ?
Ya, I'll bet he does. He hates the brown.Post of the day !
I'll bet he can't read the package.
:-)
Every person I've ever known (well, except for Big Dog) who ate brown has been a hippie or a vegetarian or both. They eat tofu!
An hour? For rice? Uhhh...no.
I made brown rice last night. It only took 35 min. and came out perfect.Well maybe you shed your white privilege. But now you have brown privilege.
I no longer feel privileged.
Mmmmm . . . basmati. I don't cook regular white rice anymore. :drool:
No tofu for this Dog!
I like brown rice with mushroom gravy, next to a big slab of roast beef, or prime rib or lamb off the grill. I also like mashed potatoes the same way. In fact, I like a lot of things next to big piles of meat!
I love basmati. But I never get it quite right. How do you fix yours?
Well, I cooked some more. I bought it, I might as well eat it.
I put 2 1/4 times the water in the cooker and let it go. Cooked longer, but I wasn't timing it.
The rice came out perfect!
So, I'll eat this batch, but after that no more brown rice for me.
I had my fling. Sure, the brown rice was exotic and new. It made promises. It whispered sweet nothings. But in the end I came back to my first love...my white rice.
I know this is sacrilege, but I love the brown rice---instant brown rice. We get either the boil in bags or the regular instant. It takes no longer than the white and has a nuttier flavor and seems less starchy.
But white rice is best if you have an upset stomach, easier to digest. And I don't eat tofu, hate it.
Nope, leaving that one right where it is . . . :whistling:
Get some paroled rice.No way. Too many hardened kernels. Last time I got paroled rice, they got my alfalfa pregnant, and drank all my beer.

Will somebody please stop this blasted autocorrect before it kills again?
Who likes this thread besides me ?
I do.Now that is a meal! It's creative, only using what you have on hand, and cheese, gooey melted cheese!
Last night I forgot to defrost some meat. After reading some of the ideas, just sauteed some veggies, added some leftover plain angel hair pasta, olive oil, spices, then some fresh mozzarella cheese, shook some parmesan over it, and added melted in a few slices of provolone cheese. It was really good. I would have made it with brown rice if we didn't have the angel hair from the other night.
I do.

Brown rice is good in stew with leftover meat or poultry.
HUNTER'S STEW
1-2 lb leftover roast beef, pork, or poultry, chopped or cubed
5 cups water
1 cup red wine
1 Tbsp Better Than Bullion Vegetable Base (or equivalent of vegetable bullion to make 3 cups)
1 onion, diced
1/2 head of celery, diced
6 carrots, diced
1/2 lb mushrooms, diced (optional)
1/2 cup brown rice
Bay leaf
1/2 tsp salt
Black pepper to taste
1. In a cast iron Dutch oven, bring water to boil.
2. Add all ingredients except pepper.

5. Reduce heat to low.
6. Cover and simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally.
7. Remove bay leaf. Add pepper to taste.
Serve with crusty bread, extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, and dark beer.
Don't like the brown rice. Last time I ate it years ago, I felt like I was being punished.
That sounds good. I would probably cook white rice separate and ladle the beef stew over it, minus the cheese.
Dori,
I always include my favorite meal combinations with my recipes.
Doesn't everybody like the same things I do?[/i]
