Instructions
- Combine the rinsed brown rice, water, and olive oil in a medium-sized pot. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, then reduce the heat to low. Allow the rice to simmer for 45 minutes without lifting the lid.
- After 45 minutes, turn off the heat. Let the rice sit, still covered, for 10 minutes to absorb any remaining steam and moisture.
- Fluff the cooked brown rice with a fork to separate the grains and serve. DEVOUR!
