Before we moved to NOLA I was petrified of making rice. I would only make instant rice (I know-gasp!) because that was all I knew how to make. When we moved to NOLA I quickly learned that making good rice was essential to New Orleans cooking, so I sought to figure out how to make long grain rice. I finally found this technique and I haven’t looked back since (or used instant rice in anything besides my slow cooker). I will also be trying this with brown rice when I run out of white rice, I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Ingredients:
• 1 c long grain rice (preferably white)
• 2 c water
• 1 tsp salt
• 1-2 tbs butter
• 2 bouillon cubes- whatever flavor goes with your meal- (optional)
Directions:
• Place all items in pot at the same time
• Bring water to a boil
• Reduce heat and cook for approximately 20 minutes- or until rice is cooked and water absorbed
• Serve and enjoy with your favorite meal!
