BASIC BROWN RICE - Fool Proof
Recipe created by Teri Gentes Permission required to reprint.
Choose good quality, organic rice, be it brown basmati for long fragrant grains or medium and short grain resulting in slightly more sticky rice. Pre-soaking the rice is a great way to remove some of the excess starch resulting in fluffier rice as well as removing some of the natural plant protective compounds that keep the grains fresher longer yet impede our body’s ability to absorb the nutrients. In addition, it shortens cooking time. One hour minimum to overnight is suggested yet not essential. This cooking method is pretty much fool proof.

The first time I heard of forbidden rice I knew I would love it. Exotic, ebony black and anti-oxidant abundant plus it tastes so great. How could I not love it?

Slightly sticky its just wonderful for nori wraps as well as being the most wonderful side for your main dishes no matter what ethnic cuisine you are enjoying.
