How do you substitute brown rice for white rice in recipes?
90% of recipes that use rice do so with white or Basmati. I would like to spice up my rice routine using these recipes, while having the health benefits of using brown rice - but it cooks in a much different fashion than white rice.
When substituting brown rice for white rice in a recipe, what should I adjust in terms of cooking time and technique?

Mostly, it will take longer to cook your recipe with brown rice. You will also need to add a bit more water. That's OK, you can do that. Figure about 1/4 extra water (1/4 again above what you had already planned for white rice) and about 1/2 again as much time.
Consider your other ingredients - don't mush them all to hell to cook your rice.
So, figure 1/4 more water and 1/2 more time, add your other ingredients at the time you would otherwise - counting backwards.
In other words, add your other ingredients at that time in which you think the brown rice should be done simultaneously with your other ingredients.
