Ingredients
2 tblsp butter6 cloves garlic, minced1 small onion, minced2 cups brown rice6 cups chicken broth1 tsp salt1/2 tsp black pepper1 bay leaf2 tsp turmericdash cayenne1 tsp lemon juice
Preheat oven to 375
In skillet over med high heat melt butter and add garlic, onion, and rice.
Stir constantly til garlic and onion are soft and rice is starting to toast.
Add in 1 cup of the broth, salt, pepper, turmeric, cayenne and bay leaf and bring to a boil.
Pour into a large casserole dish and put in oven uncovered for 30 minutes.
Add remaining broth, stir and cover, then return to oven for 45 minutes.
Add lemon juice, stir and return uncovered for 30 minutes.
It is done when the liquid is absorbed, and the sides are beginning to brown and stick to the dish.
Stir in the crunchy bits and fluff before serving.
When done with white rice it will be fluffier, but the extra cooking time with this method gets rid of the "crunchy" husk texture my hubby hates. =)
