Easy Rice Recipe

- Easy Rice Recipe -

A family favourite - this is great for all cultures and backgrounds; everyone loves this recipe!

Note: This recipe serves 6 people (with hungry appetites)! Also, add more salt if you are cooking for middle-easterners! I love eating this with beans - check out our recipe here: Bean Sauce Recipe.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups rice
• Pinch salt
• Water
• Oil (optional)

What to do:

1. This is optional, but you can pour oil into a saucepan - just enough to cover the bottom. 
2. Rinse the 3 cups of rice in a sieve. Then, put it in the big saucepan.
3. Add water - a little less than double the rice (so in this case, 5 cups of water)
4. Add a pinch of salt.
5. Bring to the rice to a boil.
6. Turn the heat down to a simmer until the water has gone and rice is soft. This will take approx. 15 minutes.
7. Your rice is done! Spoon out onto plates and enjoy eating!
