Brown rice

Brown rice is a healthy carbohydrate that should be a part of our lunches. The exact measure is ½ cup of cooked rice. This rice is rich in fiber, vitamins B1, B2, B3, and D, as well as minerals such as iron, magnesium, calcium, and potassium that get lost in the grinding process in which white rice is posed to. This makes it a great ally not only when we want to lose weight, but also to get all the vitamins and minerals that our body needs to work properly.

Preparation:

1 cup of brown rice
2 ¼ cups of water
Chopped onion
1 tbsp of grape oil or olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

In a pan, add the oil and stir fry the onion, then add the water and the previously washed and drained rice. Add salt & pepper and let it come to a boil, and then reduce the fire to a minimum for 45 minutes (covered). Take a look and if it looks still hard, add a little more water, and follow this process until it looks soft and spongy.

Some people put it in a pressure pot which softens it and they let it rest for a while before cooking it.
