brown rice?

Question

what kind of foods you suggest to make with it...

Answer 1

You can use brown rice in any recipe that calls for rice. Just remember that the brown rice takes longer to cook than the white rice.

One of my favorites is this chicken/rice/cheese caserole:

2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove minced garlic
1-1/2 medium red bell peppers, diced
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1 cup low-salt chicken broth
1-1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups cooked brown rice
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons non-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
8 ounces skinless, diced cooked chicken
3 ounces part skim milk mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup chopped parsley

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 1-1/2 quart casserole with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion begins to brown (3 to 5 minutes).

Add the bell peppers, corn, 1/4 cup of the broth, the thyme and black pepper, and continue cooking until the bell pepper begins to soften (3 to 5 minutes).

Stir in the remaining 3/4 cup broth, the rice, sour cream, and mustard. Add the chicken, remove from the heat, and stir until well combined. Stir in one-third of the mozzarella and the parsley.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole. Spread the mixture evenly. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese has melted.
