OVEN BAKED BROWN RICE

(from a poster on Weight Watchers)


1 cup brown rice (I use the Mahatma brand)
2-1/2 cups water or FF broth
1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 375 degrees. Spread rice into a 1-1/2 quart baking dish.

2. Bring water or broth to boil, then immediately stir in salt and pour liquid over rice. Cover baking dish tightly with doubled layer of foil.

    (I've found that the results are still good if you only use one layer of foil, or if you just use a dish with a lid)


3. Bake rice 1 hour, until tender.

4. Remove baking dish from oven and uncover. Fluff rice with dinner fork, then re-cover dish with foil and let rice stand 5-10 minutes.
