Yes, you can make Spanish rice with brown rice, and it can be a healthier alternative to the traditional recipe that typically uses white rice. While the process is similar, there are some key differences to keep in mind.
Brown rice has a firmer texture and requires a longer cooking time, so you’ll need to adjust the liquid and simmering time accordingly. The result will be a flavorful, slightly nutty version of Spanish rice that retains more nutrients due to the whole grain content of the brown rice. This version is just as delicious and nutritious.
