Wonderful way to cook brown rice! Brown rice is one of my picky toddler Max's staples, and he loved this one. I enjoyed the chewy texture, but would have liked even more garlic and chicken flavor. Mushrooms would have been a great addition too. I've made oven baked brown rice before, but I never thought of using my cast iron cookware...it worked great! I did make 2/3 of the recipe as I only had 2 cups of rice. I used 2T olive oil which was even too much for us, as the rice ends up with a greasy texture. I used water/chicken bouillion and omitted the salt. My Hubby wants me to make fried rice with the leftovers. Freddy Cat says hi! Made for the Billboard recipe tag game.
