Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse 2 cups of brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a large pot, bring 4 cups (960ml) of water to a boil.
- Add the rinsed brown rice to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
- Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork.
- While the rice is cooking, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork until smooth.
- Add 3 tablespoons of lime juice to the mashed avocado and mix well.
- Transfer the cooked and fluffed brown rice into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the avocado and lime mixture to the rice. Mix thoroughly to ensure the rice is evenly coated.
- Season with 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin. Stir well to combine.
- Taste the rice and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more lime juice, salt, or pepper according to your preference.
- Transfer the Avocado Lime Brown Rice to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a light, refreshing main course.
Tips:
- For a creamier texture, mash the avocado before mixing it into the rice.
- Adjust the lime juice and seasoning to taste to find the perfect balance of flavors.
- Consider adding fresh cilantro or green onions for an extra layer of freshness.
- Use freshly ground black pepper for a more robust flavor.
- Ensure the brown rice is fully cooked and slightly cooled before combining it with the other ingredients to maintain the best texture.
