Serves 2
1/2 cup brown rice, rinsed and drained
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon coconut oil or organic, unsalted butter
2 cups water
dark agave nectar or pure maple syrup to taste
Place the rice in a blender and process to a coarse meal (do not grind into flour). Add the rice to a small saucepan along with sea salt, cinnamon, vanilla, oil or butter, and water, and place over high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally with a wire whisk. Once the mixture comes to a boil, turn down the heat and continue to whisk constantly until the mixture is incorporated and slightly thickened. Remove the pan from the heat, cover, and allow to sit about 10 minutes or until rice is tender and mixture is thick. Serve topped with dark agave nectar or pure maple syrup to taste.
