If I have time, I like to soak the rice in water for a few hours before baking.
- 1 cup brown rice, medium or short grain, rinsed well
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups water, boiling
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the rice into an 8-inch square glass baking dish. Add oil and salt.
Pour boiling water over the rice, stir to combine, and cover the dish tightly. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, remove cover and fluff the rice with a fork.
