Packed with Flavor! We normally don’t have a lot of brown rice, but wow, this has been my favorite brown rice thus far, a winner. The method of cooking the onion, celery, etc. in the stock, running it through the blender and then using it to cook the rice, elevates the rice to a heightened level of flavor. Very good! Roasted poblano chilies, as anaheim was unavailable at the market. Thanks Dee, for sharing this here with us.
