Make brown rice palatable

[Cammy]

Brown rice has always had that cardboard texture/taste to me. I love a good white rice but knowing that as I get older it isn't good for me. What brand and cooking method works best?

 

[TOGIE]

Boil the rice

sauté some onions and jalapeños in butter

Lots of butter

Toss in some fresh garlic

Throw the rice in the mixture, toss some cilantro in, lots of salt, and some pepper

Make a bed of rice on a plate. Place one well seasoned, well crusted, rare ribeye on said bed of rice.

Eat

White rice is definitely better for you than brown rice. Brown rice has the outer layer that accumulates much more arsenic. There's a reason rice eating cultures focus on white.

I read that the other day about the arsenic. I guess white rice cooked then stored over night in the fridge converts some of the bad starch.

Using it in a Jambalaya may help brown rice some.

Any suggestions on how to get my MIL to eat more brown rice?

Honestly I prefer brown rice.

While dry, saute the rice in butter until it gets a little color and starts to smell nutty. Add garlic and saute another minute or so. Add water and salt and cook until done. Delicious.

That reason isn't arsenic though. Preservation, taste, and cultural/societal (brown rice historically was a sign of poverty)

Make stock.from the bones of big game and birds, use that to cook the rice in.

my dr said white rice has too many carbs that hit fast,{diabetes} ive found that brown rice is good cooked slow in cream of mushroom soup,,good with chicken

2 cups of jasmine rice one can of condensed coconut milk and a second can filled with water in the pressure cooker. Your welcome

White rice being unhealthy is a lie. Its a carbohydrate with no significant toxins or food preservatives. Brown rice is the same plant, white is just shelled. Limit your portion, or cook the wild rice from wisconsin. look into quality rices such as basmati or long grain jasmine rice. Both are great, have quality nutrients, and can be bought inexpensively by the 25 lb bag at sams club. For what its worth the short chopped cheap white rice that is mostly ground up is the stuff that is bad for digestion.

I agree with @jryoung. Cook it in homemade stock.

 

[Cammy]

Portion control is a given. I don't eat rice everyday but I do enjoy a bowl of rice with Banchon's Original BBQ sauce drizzled on top once in a while. I am partial to Basmati.

As mentioned, not all rices are equal...kids were deployed to Korea for a long time. Basmati and jasmine are game changers, as is a simple rice cooker for like $30.
