I love brown rice, but often times it can taste a little bland without something served with it. One of my favorite websites to find delicious gluten free recipes is Gluten Free Girl and the Chef. This is one of my all time favorite rice recipes. Not only is it healthy, but incredibly tasty with a hint of coconut and a little spice with the curry powder. Enjoy!
Ingredients
2 cups brown basmati rice
1/2 can (7 ounces) coconut milk
juice of 1 medium-sized lime
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon Madras curry powder
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Soaking the rice. Soak the rice in 4 cups of cool, fresh water. Let it sit for at least 1 hour, preferably longer, if you can. This helps to remove some of the starchiness from the rice. Pour the rice into a large strainer, draining out all the water.
Cooking the rice. Pour the rice into the rice cooker. Add the coconut milk, lime juice, coconut oil, curry powder, ginger, salt, and pepper. Stir it all well. Add 3 1/2 cups cool, fresh water. Stir it all up. Close the lid. Turn the rice cooker to the brown rice setting, then turn it on.
When the rice cooker says it is done cooking, you may eat.
