Broon Rice

Many people say to me "Stringles, we know you are hot in the kitchen but how do you manage to get your brown rice so delicious?" Well here goes and in future please stop asking me.

You require about two cups of water per cup of rice. Firstly rinse your rice well with cold water as many times as possible before it becomes too boring.

Next let the rice soak in a saucepan for about 30 minutes. Drain the rice and then place on the stove and put the heat on to medium. Stir the rice around the pot and toast it in this manner for a couple of minutes until it is fragrant - the grains are nearly dry and the hissing noises have stopped.

Next add the required water and a teaspoon of salt and fat. Bring to a boil and then cover tightly with a well-fitting lid and simmer on a very low heat for forty minutes (you must NOT lift the lid in this time). Turn the heat off and let it sit covered for another fifteen minutes for truly sensational rice.

I like to chuck lots of crap into my rice such as vegetable stock, garlic cloves, chilli peppers etc. Experiment like I do and dinnertime will never be the same again! Nor will your breath.
