   It gives this dish a really herbal kick.

8. 8

   I have found brown rice very easy to cook by using 3 cups water to 1 cup of rice along with a pinch of salt and a few drops of oil, simmering until done to my liking, about 40 minutes, and then pouring off the excess water.

   Never burns and is never sticky.
