Energy Breakfast Rice

Contributed by: Melinda

This keeps the afternoon slump at bay. An alternative to oatmeal which has a moderate GI value of around 60 (without sugar), brown basmati rice is lower at around 45. There are also some additional nutritional aspects to rice bran. I like this cooked in water and dressed with oregano oil.

1 cup brown basmati rice, uncooked
1 3/4 cups water
1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • Bring water to a boil
  • Add salt and rice, return to boil and cover
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer 30 minutes
  • Turn off heat and let stand to finish with steaming for another 5 to 10 minutes.

    Enjoy as is, or add fresh olive oil or oregano oil.
