Brown Rice

Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice (such as Jasmine or Basmati)
• ¾ cup water
• 1 (10.5-oz) can beef consommé
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, sliced thinly
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme or oregano

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Combine the base ingredients: In an 11x7-inch baking dish, stir together the rice, water, and beef consommé.
3. Add butter and herbs: Evenly scatter the butter slices over the top. Tuck the herb sprigs into the liquid for a fragrant touch.
4. Bake: Cover the dish tightly with foil. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the liquid is fully absorbed and the rice is tender.
5. Fluff and serve: Discard the herb sprigs, fluff the rice with a fork, and enjoy warm.

Notes

• What type of rice works best?
• Long-grain white rice like Jasmine or Basmati is ideal. It cooks up fluffy, with separate grains.
• Can I substitute brown rice?
• Yes, but expect a longer cooking time and slightly different texture. You may also need to add more liquid.
• Is the full stick of butter necessary?
• While the full amount delivers rich flavor and texture, you can adjust the butter to suit your taste or dietary needs.
• Can I cook this on the stovetop or in a rice cooker?
• Absolutely. Use the same ingredients and proportions, and follow your appliance's directions for cooking rice.
