Locale Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   Place the long-grain rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This step removes excess starch and helps keep the rice from becoming gummy.

2. 2

   Boil Water

   In a medium-sized pot, add 2 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Add Rice

   Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed long-grain rice to the pot and stir briefly to prevent sticking.

4. 4

   Add Olive Oil

   Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the pot and stir to combine, which will help add flavor and prevent sticking.

5. 5

   Simmer the Rice

   Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

6. 6

   Fluff and Serve

   Remove the pot from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to fluff the rice gently before serving.
