Mia's Incredible Brown Rice

Nutty, savory, comfort rice.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 6
• Yields: 3 cups

Ingredients

• 1  cup  short grain brown rice (organic if possible)
• 1 1⁄4 cups water
• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• 1  chicken bouillon cube
• 1  tablespoon butter
• 1  teaspoon olive oil

Directions

1. Sauté rice with olive oil until the grains begin to turn opaque in a large pot with a tight fitting lid.
2. Add water, bouillon cube, and butter.
3. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for approximately 20 minutes.
4. Add minced garlic and replace lid. Cook for another 10-15 minutes tasting rice for doneness.
5. You can cook it longer (up to 50 minutes) but I prefer a slightly chewy, nutty texture.
