List of Ingredients

long grain brown rice


Recipe

Grind long grain brown rice in a food processor. (It should be just a little larger than grits.)

Spread ground rice on a flat cookie sheet and roast in oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes.

Stir rice several times while roasting. (About every 7 minutes.)

Store in tightly sealed containers or prepare immediately as desired.

To prepare, combine equal parts Riz Cous and hot liquids in a bowl and cover tightly.

Let sit 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

If still too crunchy add a bit more hot liquid.

Author's Notes: The liquids will flavor the rice. I have used stock, wine, water, leftover soup, etc.

I usually add other items in as well such as golden raisins, nuts, veggies, seafood. I highly recommend this for backpacking.

Donna's Note: I recommend a different cooking method. I would use twice the amount of liquid as Riz Cous. So 1 cup Riz Cous and 2 cups of water. Place water, Riz Cous and seasoning etc... in a medium pot, stir well to wet the Riz Cous, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15 minutes. (Do not remove lid during cooking time.) Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Remove lid and fluff with a fork.
