Brown Rice

There are a million reasons to love brown rice (Its whole grain goodness! Its ability to soak up all the delicious sauces!), but if you've always struggled to get it just right, this is the recipe for you. With this parboil and steam method, the rice comes out tender but not mushy, fluffy instead of gummy. Brown rice can take a little longer to cook so be sure to make large batches to keep in the freezer as a quick weeknight side dish. Just be sure to cool the cooked rice completely before packing it up and stow it away in convenient half- or one-cup portions. Reheat it in the microwave for maximum fluff.
