In Puerto Rico we eat rice and beans practically every day. It's a staple in pretty much every home. Making white rice is such a basic thing that I've taken it for granted, it didn't even occur to me to put it on the blog until now! This recipe is for a simple white rice that you can combine with any type of legume.
Ingredients:
2 cups of medium grain rice
3 cups of water
2 teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon of olive oil
Procedure:
1. Combine the water, salt, and olive oil in a large pot and put it on medium-high heat (6-7); bring to a boil.
2. Once the water starts to boil, add the rice.
3. Stir the rice.
4. Leave it at a moderate heat (5) without stirring it until it dries.
5. Once it's dried, mix and reduce the temperature to low.
6. Cover and let it cook for 15 minutes. Stir once, halfway through.
Set your pot on the stove and pour the water in.
Add the salt.
Add the olive oil.
Add the rice.
Mix well, cover and let cook.
Let the water boil out.
Mix the rice after the water's boiled out.
Take in the smell and enjoy!
