1
Rinse the Rice
Place the brown rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.
2
Boil the Water
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed brown rice, water, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
3
Simmer the Rice
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed.
4
Fluff and Serve
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork, drizzle with olive oil, and serve warm.
