Perfectly Baked Brown Rice

I made the switch from white rice to brown rice several years ago as a way to add more fiber to my diet. Brown rice has 3 ½ grams of fiber per cup, while white rice has less than one gram. I love the nutty flavor and hearty texture of brown rice. This recipe never fails to produce the perfect brown rice. Because the rice is baked in the oven, there is one fewer pot to watch on the stove.


Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups whole grain brown rice
2 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 tblsp. butter

Directions:
1. Bring stock to a boil in the microwave. Remove and add butter. Allow butter to melt.
2. Place rice in 8x8" glass pan.
3. Pour stock/butter mixture over rice in pan and stir.
4. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
5. Bake at 375F for 1 hour.
6. Fluff with fork before serving.
