Steamed Brown Rice

I love brown rice, it's a classic dish that can be dressed up or down to fit occasion. this recipe comes from the fiddlehead cookbook.

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Add rice and stir until it begins to crackle , about two minutes.

Add water and seasonings.

Cover pot , bring to a boil and reduce heat to a low simmer.

Cook for 45-55 minutes until rice is fluffy and has absorbed all the water.

Remove from heat , transfer to a serving dish , and serve at once.
