"Rice is the best, the most nutritive and unquestionably the most widespread staple in the world."
-Auguste Escoffier, 19th century French chef
There are so many varieties of brown rice on the market in America today. I have become very partial to brown jasmine rice. Whatever brown rice you choose, the touch of butter as flavoring along with the floweriness of the parsley makes this recipe a great accompaniment for almost any dish.

The cooked rice doesn't keep well.
2 1/4 cups | water |
1/8 tsp | salt |
1/2 cup | long grain brown rice |
2 Tbsp | parsley (coarsely chopped) |
2 tsp | unsalted butter |
In a medium sauce pan, heat the water and salt. When the water boils, stir in the brown rice.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, for about 45 minutes.
Do not boil away all of the liquid and do not stir the rice.
When a very small amount of liquid remains, remove the pan from the burner and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
Just before serving, add the butter and parsley and fold gently until the butter melts. Serve.
