Brown Rice

Datdanigirl Posts: 452 Joined: 2004/02/11	2004/05/14, 09:17 AM Got some brown rice, cooked it up.. blecch!! I'm used to eating white rice plain quite contentedly. This is NOT GOOD plain. What can I do to this other than my first temptation ~ A large pat of butter?? I now have a large container of it that I cooked up to eat over the next few days, and need to find some way to treat it so I can eat it! -------------- : ] ~Danielle Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action. ~Benjamin Disraeli

After it is nice and warm, pour COLD milk on it, and eat it like cereal, not only is the taste good, but the cold/warm combo is fantastic!!!

I love the ground beef and tomato concept as something to have for a few days at work during the week and salsa and chili sound good too. I hear you Ivan, I'm sure it's an acquired taste. I've had it before when other people make it and liked it.. maybe that bit of flavor from some garlic or shallots was the difference and would aid in getting accustomed to it plain.
