Brown Rice
Brown rice is one of the healthiest grains, containing slow-digesting carbohydrates due to its high fiber content, providing energy for a longer period. It is a staple ingredient in Asian and Mediterranean cuisine and is a perfect alternative to white rice for those who want to follow a healthier diet. Cooking takes longer, but the end result is a nutrient-rich, nutty-flavored rice that serves as a perfect side dish for meats, vegetables, and sauces.

Preparation Steps
1
Thoroughly rinse the brown rice in cold water to remove excess starch. This prevents it from becoming sticky during cooking.
2
In a medium saucepan, bring 500 ml of water to a boil. Add the brown rice and salt.
3
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and cook the rice for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
4
Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes to allow the steam to further soften the grains.
5
Fluff the rice with a fork, then drizzle with olive oil for added flavor and a silky texture.
6
Serve on its own or as a side dish with meats, vegetables, and sauces.
