Notes
Double recipe for a family of 6.
The flavor of this rice was delicious! I followed the instructions exactly, but mine came out extremely overcooked and mushy. Not sure if it’s because I have a convection oven or because I used a cast iron/ceramic Dutch oven or maybe both? I will definitely try it again and check it after 35 minutes.
So good! Tho I admit I couldn’t bear to put in a whole stick of butter. So I used half a stick. Still great, and as long as i don’t have the real thing to compare it to, I won’t know what I’m missing. 😉 Thanks for adding this!
I made this rice since my family is switching over to brown rice. They are all on a health kick. Anyway, they liked this rice so much. It was soft and fluffy which was good for me (not to mention the butter), and they get their brown rice.
