Parboil the rice for 25 minutes or so using 2 1/2 times as much water as rice, then drain like you would pasta and try to take up the recipe from there. If you try it please let me how it works. Good luck! Hi Molly -

Okay, big question ... stirring brown risotto rice for 45 minutes is just not an option for me - not only would that make me crazy but I have two little kids. They would set the house on fire if alone that long. Any way to half way pre-cook the rice? Then go through the whole risotto motions to finish it off? Have you ever tried this? Thanks!!!!!

My 2 year old, who loves rice, thought it was great, and evenmy husband, who is a potato guy - not a rice guy- liked it. I thought it was similar to risotto and am glad you tried it first. I will try this soon. I just found this rice, at Whole foods also, a few months ago and loved it.

I wouldn't worry too much about "sweet" brown rice versus regular short grain brown rice. I'm sure the regular will work just fine. Michelle - thank you for stopping by and best of luck on your new blog! This does indeed require patience, but it's worth it!
