Alton Browns Baked Brown Rice

I have never been a fan of brown rice. Then when day I was watching Good Eats and saw this way of baking brown rice so it is nice and tender. Now I can not get enough brown rice!




1-1/2 cups brown rice, medium or short grain (I used a brown/wild mixture from Henry's or Whole Foods)
2-1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Place the rice into an 8-inch square glass baking dish.

Bring the water, butter, and salt just to a boil in a kettle or covered saucepan. Once the water boils, pour it over the rice, stir to combine, and cover the dish tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, remove cover and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve immediately.
