directions

  • If using dry shallots, rehydrate by soaking in 2 tbsp water for 5 minutes.
  • In a 2 quart saucepan, sauté shallots in butter until lightly browned.
  • Add both types of rice, chicken stock (or water), salt (if using), and bay leaves.
  • Bring to a rapid boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer.
  • Simmer for 45 minutes and do not remove the cover until the 45 minutes have passed. Fluff with a fork.
  • If any liquid is left after 45 minutes, stir lightly, then continue to cook over low heat for about 5 more minutes, or until all water is gone.

  1. Really lovely flavor! I used just brown rice (as I don't really care the texture of wild rice), a fresh shallot, all chicken stock and 3 bay leaves. The aroma while cooking was wonderful, which I realized was the bay leaves. For some reason, I had never attributed much flavor or aroma to bay leaves, but I realize they are the key to many dishes, now. I will be making this often. Thanks for sharing.
     
  2. Best brown rice I ever had. I don't know why no one else has tried it. Made for ZWT #6 - Family Picks.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I joined Recipezaar to learn new recipes that are home cooked. I grew up having ready-meals like Encor and Stouffers and needed recipes that don't simply require opening a box and plopping in the oven! I enjoy cooking when I have the time to try new dishes. I make every recipe as written if I'm reviewing it to give a true review. If I make alterations that aren't in the directions, I don't feel it's a true reflection of the recipe; it's another recipe to me. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b367/chefpaulag/final-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/captain.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/329769/ninja%20bmp.jpg" width=75%> (Zaar World Tour 4) <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg"> <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view&current=cunningcrocodiles.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/cunningcrocodiles.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/DSC_0020.jpg"> (Australia/New Zealand Swap #15)
