1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup low sodium chicken stock
1/4 tsp salt
1 cloves garlic
1/2 cup brown rice
2 tsp lemon zest
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
fresh ground black pepper

Place a medium sauce pan over high heat. Add the water, chicken stock and salt. Place the whole clove of garlic in the water.

When the liquid boils, stir in the brown rice, lemon zest and lemon juice.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, for about 25 - 30 minutes.

Do not boil away all of the liquid and do not stir the rice.

When a very small amount of liquid remains, remove the pan from the burner and let it stand, covered, for about 5 minutes before serving. Remove the garlic clove and discard before serving.
