Raised in a Filipino household, I never knew there was such a thing as brown rice - brown? REALLY? - until I was married and on my own. I still love jasmine rice - but I really like that chewy, nutty thing going on with brown rice, too. This recipe is from Cook's Illustrated.

Ingredients

6 ounces andouille sausages, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped fine (about 1 cup)
1 red bell pepper, chopped fine (about 1 cup)
3 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 1/4 cups water
1 1/2 cups long grain brown rice
1 teaspoon table salt
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 375 degrees. Cook sausage in Dutch oven over medium heat until lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to paper towel-lined plate; set aside. Add onion and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until well-browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add chicken broth and water; cover and bring to boil. Remove pan from heat, stir in rice and salt. Cover pot with lid and bake rice until tender, 65 to 70 minutes.
Remove pan from oven; uncover and discard foil. Fluff rice with dinner fork, stir in corn and reserved sausage, then replace lid. Let rice stand 5 minutes. Stir in basil and black pepper; serve, passing lemon wedges separately.

SWEET BELL PEPPER RICE

Sweet Bell Pepper Rice image

Normally a pepper and rice dish has a Mexican or Spanish kind of flair to it. I wanted something a little more Italian, and this is what I came up with.

Ingredients

2 cups water
1 cup long grain rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small sweet onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small green bell pepper, chopped
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tiny pinch salt
1 splash dry white wine

Steps:

Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion in the hot oil until tender, about 3 minutes.

Season with basil, oregano, black pepper, and salt.
Pour wine into vegetable mixture and reduce heat to medium low. Simmer until liquid is reduced, about 5 minutes. Stir rice into vegetables. Top with Parmesan cheese before serving.
