Cooking Brown Rice
Getting just the right water-to-rice ratio for brown rice can be tricky! One easy way to cook your brown rice is to treat it just like pasta! Bring a large post of water to a boil, add 1 teaspoon of salt, a splash of olive oil, and 1 bay leaf. Leave mixture to boil for about 30 minutes, or until desired tenderness then drain, return to the pot and let site covered for 5-10 minutes.
