Ingredients

1 cup brown rice
3 tablespoons wild rice
2 1/4 cups chicken stock or 2 1/4 cups water
2 -4 bay leaves
1/4 cup freeze dried shallots or 1/4 cup one large fresh shallot, finely minced

In a 2 quart saucepan, sauté shallots in butter until lightly browned.

Bring to a rapid boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer.

Tips:

Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help distribute heat evenly and prevent the rice from burning.
Rinse the rice well before cooking: This will remove any excess starch and help the rice cook evenly.
Use the correct ratio of rice to water: Too much water will make the rice mushy, while too little water will make it dry and hard.
Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice: This will help prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low: This will help the rice cook evenly and prevent it from boiling over.
Let the rice rest for 5 minutes before serving: This will allow the rice to absorb any remaining water and fluff up.

Conclusion:

Bay-flavored brown wild rice is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. By following the tips above, you can make perfect bay-flavored brown wild rice every time.
