    I seem to have a hard time cooking brown rice correctly, but this rice was perfectly cooked. The texture was just what I wanted. Next time, I'll try it with stock instead of water to add flavor. - 4/2/09

    This is a winner and fairly easy. I sauteed onions, mushrooms and celery in the oil with the rice. Then transferred to an 8" square pan and added chicken broth plus enough water to equal remaining amount of liquid. Delicious. - 10/6/09

    I used the advice of COOKIEJIM below and added 2 tsp of yellow curry powder to the water when boiling and 1 C of sauteed onions and approx. 1 lb. of 1 inch pcs sauteed chicken to the rice then baked it. It goes great w/ broccoli. Next time I will add peas and carrots. This is now a new favorite! YUM - 7/6/08

    This comes out perfect every time. I sometimes use a blend, with brown rice and a bit of black barley, wild rice, or other grains. Trader Joe's sells a blend with radish seeds and black barley that is just wonderful. - 10/4/08
