We use brown rice for everything around here, so I am always looking for good recipes using it. This is a great side for your favorite Mexican dishes. I love that it’s baked, which means no over cooked sticky rice!
Preheat oven to 350F. Combine all ingredients in a 2 quart oven safe baking dish. Stir well. Cover with foil and bake for 80 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let sit for 10 minutes out of the oven. Salt and pepper to taste. Fluff with a fork and serve with your favorite Mexican dishes. Check out my recipe box for options.

“Brown basmati rice is a variety of long grain rice grown in India and Pakistan, notable for its fragrance and delicate flavor. Its name means “the fragrant one”.
The grains of basmati rice are longer than most other types of rice. Cooked grains of Basmati rice are characteristically free flowing rather than sticky, as with most long-grain rice. Cooked basmati rice can be uniquely identified by its fragrance.”

Cylina, I think basic brown rice would work fine too! We just prefer the basmati, you’ll have to try it sometime and see if you can tell a difference. Come back and let me know what you think please! Tonya
