Easy, healthy brown rice pilaf made in the Crock Pot. This dish creates the creamiest brown rice I've ever had, the texture is similar to a risotto but it doesn't contain any cream or cheese so it's lower fat and safe for the lactose intolerant. If you're not a fan of mushrooms you could just omit them or add another veggie you enjoy. I think it would be good with shredded carrots or asparagus and feel free to brainstorm.
Ingredients:
5 cups boiling water
2 cups brown rice
3 ounces shiitake mushrooms
2 ounces button mushrooms
5 teaspoons low-sodium chicken or beef bouillon
1 package onion soup mix
2 tablespoons butter
non-stick cooking spray
Directions:
Spray Crock Pot with non-stick cooking spray. Put water on to boil while you assemble other ingredients. Add everything to the Crock Pot, pour boiling water over, mix to combine and cook on high for 2-3 hours.
sounds yummy! always up for a new brown rice recipe.
