baked brown rice

It’s not a classic risotto, but this wonderful baked rice has a flavor and texture that resemble a rich, slowly-cooked risotto. It’s very difficult to believe there’s no butter in this rice when you taste it – it’s so rich and buttery.

Ingredients
1 cup long-grain brown rice
1 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Directions
1. In the morning, before going to work, place all ingredients in a 1-quart baking dish (a 2-quart, square 8-inch baking dish will work too). Stir, cover and place in fridge.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove dish from fridge, stir contents and cover tightly with foil.

3. Bake rice, covered, 1 1/2 hours, until liquids have absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from oven, carefully remove cover (steam will escape) and allow to rest 5 minutes before serving.
