Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup long or short grain brown rice
6 cups water
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Using a strainer, rinse the rice under cold water, then drain it completely. (Here's why.)
  • In a saucepan over high heat, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice and stir. Continue to boil uncovered until tender, with the water bubbling rapidly, for 20 minutes. Start tasting at 18 to 20 minutes: if the rice is tender, remove the heat. If not, keep cooking 5 to 10 minutes more until the rice is tender. (All rice types and brands are slightly different, so you'll have to adjust according to the specific rice. Ours is usually done in around 18 to 25 minutes.)
  • Pour the rice into a strainer, then return it to the pot. Cover the pot and allow the rice to steam for 5 minutes. Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork. Stir in the salt.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 anchovy fillets
1 small clove garlic, finely grated
3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups short-grain brown rice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 bulb fennel, quartered, cored and thinly sliced
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
1 1/2 cups sugar snap peas, stringed and halved
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 avocado, sliced
1/3 cup roasted pepitas (hulled green pumpkin seeds) or chopped roasted cashews

Steps:

  • For the green goddess dressing: Combine the anchovies, garlic, yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, basil, chives, tarragon and lemon juice in a blender and blend until smooth and green. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the rice bowl: Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon salt and the brown rice and cook until the rice is tender but still toothsome, about 45 minutes. Drain well.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fennel, shiitakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown in spots and the fennel is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining tablespoon oil to the skillet, followed by the sugar snap peas, zucchini and another 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
  • Divide the rice among 4 bowls. Top with the vegetable mixture and then with the avocado slices. Drizzle with green goddess dressing and sprinkle with the pepitas.

MASTER RECIPE: BROWN RICE



Master Recipe: Brown Rice image

Unlike white rice, brown rice retains the nutritious bran and germ covering of the rice grain. This gives it a chewy texture, a nutty aroma, and plenty of essential nutrients. Follow our tried-and-true formula for perfectly fluffy brown rice every time.

Yield Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup brown rice
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • The Right Ratio: Trust us: Though it's printed on the package, the standard 2-to-1 ratio makes mushy rice. For long-grain brown rice, use 1 1/4 cups water to 1 cup rice. For short-grain, use 1 1/2 cups water.
  • Quick Cooking Time: Bring rice, water, and salt (1/4 teaspoon per cup of rice) to a boil. Cover, and reduce to a slow, steady simmer. Many recipes call for 50 minutes, but we think 30 minutes is plenty. A wide, shallow pot with a tight-fitting lid ensures evenly cooked grains.
  • Steam and Fluff: Let the cooked rice sit for 10 minutes, covered, to absorb maximum moisture; then remove the lid, and fluff the grains with a fork.
