Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Brown Rice

    Place the brown rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for about 2 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Boil Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    Stir in the rinsed brown rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  4. 4

    Season the Rice

    Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve warm as a side dish or base for your favorite protein or vegetables.
