1
Rinse the Rice
Start by rinsing the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
2
Sauté the Garlic
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
3
Add Rice and Liquids
Add the rinsed brown rice to the pot, stirring to coat the grains in the garlic oil. Then, pour in the water and vegetable broth.
4
Season the Mixture
Stir in the salt and black pepper, then bring the mixture to a boil.
5
Cook the Rice
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 40-45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed.
6
Fluff and Add Greens
Remove the pot from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and gently fold in the chopped green onions and cilantro.
7
Serve
Serve warm as a side dish or as a base for your favorite main dish.
