Simply Wonderful Rice

2 c Instant Brown Rice
2 c Water
1 tbsp chives, dried
1 tbsp parsley, dried
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tbsp EVO oil

Combine all ingredients in a covered saucepan, and bring to a boil. As soon it comes to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and stir well. Cover and let simmer until holes begin to form at the top of the rice, which shows the water is being absorbed. Then, push a spoon down the middle of the saucepan to see if any liquid remains at the bottom of the rice. If a small pool of water forms it is not ready. If a little bit of humidity remains, it is ready. Remove the rice from the simmering heat, then fluff and serve.
