Answer 2

This was my Mother-In-Law's recipe for brown rice. It's very simple and always popular.

1 stick margarine, cut in small pieces
1 cup rice (I always use parboiled, such as Uncle Ben's)
2 cans beef consomme'
1 large onion, quartered and sliced
2 cans mushrooms

Place the above, in order, in an 8x12 or similar Pyrex dish. Cover with foil; bake at 400 for 1 hour.

Personally, I must add a generous sprinkling of garllic powder. That would go well just after the rice.

Answer 3

Rice Pilaf
1 Tablespoon butter
1/2 cup diced onions
1 cup rice
2 cups chicken or beef broth
Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Saute onions for a minute or two, then add rice and stir around occasionally for another two minutes. Add the broth (it will immediately start boiling). Stir to mix, reduce heat to low, cover tightly with a lid. Do not uncover for 15 minutes. Uncover. Serve. Rice will be fluffy. Each grain seperate. Perfect. You can also add diced carrots or sliced mushrooms if you like, to the onions, just add a bit more butter.
