Mix rice and water in pot on stove. Bring water to boil. (Instant rice cooks up much faster than regular brown rice).
Reduce heat to simmer. Cook covered for about 1 hour.
Check for doneness - there should be no liquid remaining in the pot. If it is not done, return to burner for 5 minutes. If it is done, remove from heat.
Quinoa Pilaf
Heat olive oil in pan
Add onion and cook until it begins to brown and turn translucent
Add dried basil and mix well. Remove from heat.
In a small pot, mix together quinoa, seasoned salt, and onion mixture.
Bring to boil with the pot covered. Then reduce heat to low and remove lid.
Cook on low heat for 16-17 minutes. When you tilt your pot, the cooked quinoa should stay firm in place.
