A well-seasoned pot of brown rice is a staple worth having on hand. This version gets a flavor boost from onion, cumin, garlic, and a touch of chili — perfect on its own or topped with beans for a quick, filling meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 Tbsp oil
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 Tbsp dehydrated minced onions
- 1/4-1/2 tsp unrefined sea salt
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp crushed red chili pepper (optional but great)
- 1 cup brown rice of choice
Method
- Add all ingredients above (except rice) to a pot and stir well.
- Add 1 cup brown rice of choice — jasmine is good and does not get gooey like some brown rices tend to do. Stir again.
- Bring to a boil. Cover with a lid and turn down to a simmer for approximately 30 minutes. Different rices have different cooking times, so consult the package.
- Take off the burner and let sit for another 10 minutes, lid on.
Makes 2 cups. Brown rice is an excellent nutritional source and is a staple for many on the Hallelujah Diet. Rice topped with beans is quick and filling.
