Ingredients

• 2 cups brown rice
• water
• 1/4 cup whey, kefir, or lemon juice
• 4 - 8 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Combine rice, enough water to cover rice by at least an inch, and whey and allow to sit in a warm place for at least 7 hours. (I use the oven with the light turned on.)
2. Drain rice and put in a 2-quart pot. Add 3 cups water and bring rice to a boil. Skim the scum/foam that comes to the top.
3. Add butter and salt.
4. Reduce heat to lowest possible setting, cover, and cook for 45 minutes. Do not lift the lid during cooking.

Notes

• This comes out perfectly for me on my electric stove, but my mother-in-law has a gas stove and has to add more water. Experiment to see how much water you need.
