The rice cooker in our kitchen is one of the most-used appliances. One cup brown rice to two cups water, put it in the rice cooker and voilà, in about thirty minutes you have perfectly cooked brown rice.
Not only is it a delicious accompaniment to almost any vegetarian dish but you can add some spices, herbs or vegetable stock when you're cooking it to make it even better. In general, I would add about 1 tsp. of herbs and/or spices to every 1 cup rice. Try dill, mint, basil, or even saffron and adding some nuts like pine nuts, sliced almonds, chopped hazelnuts or pumpkin seeds after you've cooked the rice for added scrumptiousness (is that a word?). Don't forget a little salt and pepper.
And for leftovers, there are so many options. You can make all kinds of fried rice with it. But our favourite is fried rice with zuchini and leeks. Recipe to follow.
Additionally, you can make rice salad. So many to choose from but one of our favourites is Curried Rice Salad. Recipe to follow.
Wholesome Goodness!
