Sam's Amazing Rice

For everyone who has tried my amazing rice, here is the recipe.

Cook brown rice in vegetable stock. Vary the amount of rice depending on how many people are eating and how hungry they are. You will have to stir the rice frequently at the beginning of the cooking, but once you've added the onions you can ignore it and just give it a stir every 5 minutes or so. Keep the heat very low as it make the absorbsion better

Chop one onion for every 4 people eating and fry it in more vegetable stock. Keep frying until all of the stock has disappeared. Then add another cup of stock. The pan will sizzle and the onion and the stock will both go dark brown. Continue to fry for another two minutes, then stir into the rice (which will be less than half cooked).

Lightly boil broccoli chunks, baby corn and fresh spinach. When the rice is cooked (and it takes a while - about an hour) simple place vegetables on top.

It's good, trust me. It went really quickly at our care group party on Wednesday. It was the first thing to be all eaten. And while it does take a while, it is really very easy to make. And most of the time it is cooking you don't even have to be in the kitchen!
