2 cups low-sodium vegetable stock

Tips
I sometimes use my slow cooker as a "stall cooker." There are days that I need to run the boys out the door for practice and love to have dinner ready to go when we walk in the door. I don't have 4 or 8 hours to slow cook but don't want to wait 45 minutes for rice to cook. Bingo--I use the slow cooker. Two hours in a slow cooker and you will have fluffy brown rice for dinner.
No shallots? Use 1/2 small yellow onion instead.
Don't skip the step of boiling the stock--this will help break down the husk of the rice, which will prevent mushy rice.
Directions
Coat the slow cooker insert with nonstick cooking spray.
Bring vegetable stock to a boil in a small saucepan. Place all the ingredients in the slow cooker, cover and set on low heat. Cook for 2 hours.
Serving Size: Makes 8 1/2-cup servings
