Sometimes you just need a serving of brown rice to complement stir fry, fajitas,or any other entrée for that matter. Many people find it hard to kick the white rice habit and I totally understand that brown rice is just not the same. However, if you’re looking for a pretty solid replacement or if you just want to mix 50-50 as you wean yourself off the good stuff, this recipe is tried and true.
It’s not just brown rice and water. Onion and garlic make an appearance along with salt and pepper. Sometimes less is more and in this case, it couldn’t be more true.
The perfect blend of these ingredients combine well with the starchiness of the rice. It’s subtly flavored and will provide you with a base for any entree!
