Mix it with white. Its what I do. Usually 1-1.

Do you cook two separate batches?

White rice takes twenty minutes to cook whereas brown rice takes forty-five minutes to cook.

I've just thrown them both in the rice cooker and let it do its thing. I am quite unsuccessful at cooking rice otherwise. I usually let it sit for a while longer in the "heating" mode than I typically would for just white.

This works great with frozen veggies too. And the spices will really permeate the rice and flavor it up that way.

Sometimes it's funny though, you really don't want the flavors spread too evenly. You want them to be a sharp contrast to the rice, and the rice to be a kind of offsetting flavor to cool down the pop of flavor from the spices etc. Contrast is good. So then it's good to whip up sauce separately and add it and any spices/herbs after.
