I haven't tried this yet but it sounds really good--if you can handle the spices. I think it would be great w/jerk-seasoned chicken breast. I got it from lifescript.com.
This recipe serves: 4
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
1 teaspoon butter, unsalted (use IBS safe substitute, soy/rice butter, etc)
1/3 cup finely chopped onions
1/4 cup finely diced carrots
2/3 cup converted rice
1 cup chicken stock or water
1 tablespoon jerk sauce
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
Cooking Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a small ovenproof pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onions and carrots and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the onions become translucent but not brown.
3. Add the rice and stir to coat evenly with butter. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Add the stock and the jerk sauce, and bring to a boil over high heat.
5. As soon as the stock comes to a boil, cover the pot and place in the oven for 18 minutes.
6. Add the salt, pepper, and fluff with a fork.

It's rice that's been partially cooked, so it only takes about half the time to prepare. I had to look that up once, that's the only reason I know!

A white rice prepared from brown rice that has been soaked, steamed under pressure to force water-soluble nutrients into the starchy endosperm, and then dried and milled.

Uncle Ben's brand has trademarked "converted" with regard to rice. For this recipe, you should be able to use any long-grain (not short-grain like sushi) rice that takes about 20 minutes to cook.
