Seasoned Rice
Description
This recipe utilizes a blend of spices added directly to brown rice and water before cooking to develop an infused flavor during the simmering process. Garlic powder and thyme contribute earthy and herbal notes, while crushed red pepper adds optional warmth. Salt enhances the natural flavors.
The rice is simmered on low heat for 40 minutes under a lid to absorb the flavors and cook evenly, then rested off heat for five minutes to allow steam to finish tenderizing the grains. Fluffing at the end separates the grains, maintaining a pleasant texture that holds up well as a base or accompaniment to dishes such as roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or stews.
Ingredients
- 2 cups brown rice $0.80, long grain
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder $0.05
- 1/2 tsp thyme $0.05, dried
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper $0.02, optional
- 3/4 tsp salt $0.03
- 4 cups water $0.00
Instructions
- Combine the rice, garlic powder, thyme, red pepper, salt, and water in a heavy bottomed pot. Give it a brief stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Place a lid on the pot and bring the water up to a boil over high heat. Once it reaches a full boil, turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, turn the heat off and let it rest with the lid in place for 5 minutes more.
- After 5 minutes without heat, fluff the rice and serve, or refrigerate until ready to eat.
