Question regarding cooking Long Grain Brown/Wild Rice
It is what I call real rice. The directions call for a 2 to 1 ratio, liquid to rice and begin it in cold water, bring to a boil and simmer covered for 45 minutes.....
That NEVER works.
I find I had to use 1 more cup of water and cook it for roughly i hr and 10 minutes.
Recently I started to change up the directions; stir frying it with Coconut oil with chopped garlic and chopped onion, adding the broth liquid and simmering for 1 hr plus. Lately even doing that it has been CHEWY, good flavor but chewy. The last two times I have used a mixture of the blend and Brown Basmati Rice.
Is it possible that the Basmati cannot be cooked the way I am trying? I would think over cooking would make it sticky.....
Just curious to hear some other ways. And we are at about 5000 ft.
Thanks
