Rice is actually really easy to bake in the oven! Just get a covered ceramic dish. Add your rice, hot water and salt. Bake it covered in the oven for an hour, and you’re done! No more babysitting the stove while you wait. You can even get it in the oven ahead of tine and use "Time Bake” to have it ready right when you want it.


Easy Brown Rice

1 ½ cups brown rice

2 ½ cups hot water

½ tsp salt

Bake at 375 for 1 hour in a covered ceramic dish.

Tip: Jasmine brown rice has a nutty flavor that I really like.

Another tip: Brown rice can be “dressed” in various ways. Enjoy it with steamed or grilled vegetables. Top it with beans and have a salad on the side. Or make it into a breakfast dish with cinnamon, dates, fresh fruit and a dash of soy milk.
