Author’s notes: I am one of those people who will eat plain brown rice with salt and pepper, but this dish makes me feel like I won a prize that I didn’t have to do much to earn. If you make a big pot of brown rice at the beginning of the week, you can use leftovers to make this recipe for breakfast—or dessert.
