  1. rinse 1 cup of brown Basmati rice 
  2. soak for 30 minute covered in water (helps prevent the grains from breaking during the cooking process)
  3. drain,  place in medium saucepan and add 2 cups of water and salt to taste (a little pinch or 2)
  4. bring to a boil, cover and turn down to simmer for 35 to 40 minutes until liquid is absorbed.  Best to check after 30 minutes to ensure their is still liquid in the sauce pan.
  5. remove from heat, remove the lid and place on a clean kitchen towel over the pot.  replace the lid and let sit for 10 minutes and then enjoy! ​Serves four to six.

long before it was cool to be a minimalist, live a sustainable life, become a zero waste warrior we just called it simple living  or what  some could not resist calling us....'those damn hippies....not much has changed in the years since, except the wording...now some can not resist calling us.... 'those damn natural nuts'...hence the name.
