Brown Rice Curry

1 cup uncooked brown rice
2 1/2 cups vegetable or chicken stock
1 onion, finely chopped
1 green pepper, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
2 tsp. curry powder
--------------------------------


Add the water to a large pot and bring to a boil. Add all the ingredients. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until water has been absorbed into rice. Average cooking time is 60 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes and fluff with fork.

Just a suggestion (and this could work for some of the other recipies as well). Curry powder and other powdered spices give a better flavour/taste when they are fried in oil to release their oils. Otherwise they can have an unpleasent raw taste.

I suggest heating up the oil until hot, but not smoking. Throw in the onions. Give them a stir. Then throw in the curry powder/ground spices. (If the recipie calls for any whole spices, these can go in first. Let them sizzle and pop for a few seconds and then add the onions & powders as suggested above.). Stir for a few secs. The spices wil release their aroma. Add the rest of ingredients and continue.
