My favorite way to eat it is to put it in a big pot (about 6 qt.) and put in a little more water than usual and then put a whole chicken (about 3 lbs) on top of it and simmer it on the stove-top for about an hour. The rice is so flavorful and moist from the chicken juices cooking with it. After we eat it , I make a wonderful soup in the same pot to eat the next night. I leave the carcass and a few bits of rice in and fill up the pot with water and simmer it for 24 hrs. If I have also roasted a chicken (because one 3 lb. chiken is not enough for all of us), then I add the carcass and juices from that and it makes an even better soup.Hope T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07861626818618433758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394593369099711178.post-19873544064316639052009-03-19T13:01:00.000-04:002009-03-19T13:01:00.000-04:00Do you like brown rice?

It was very good, by the way. Everybody liked it. Shannon would not have liked it, because she hates peas, but she was not home for dinner that night, so it was all perfect.ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293058709021665140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394593369099711178.post-68227972227235802932009-03-19T12:44:00.000-04:002009-03-19T12:44:00.000-04:00Unfortuately, my children eat just the opposite of...Unfortuately, my children eat just the opposite of your son. They only want refined pasta and pizza. I'm the health nut. Sigh. <BR/>I cook 2 cups water, 1 cup brown rice, a pinch of salt, a shake of olive oil, bring to a boil. lower heat cover and simmer for 45min.Hope T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07861626818618433758noreply@blogger.com
