Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 3/4 cup water
- Pinch of salt
- Glug of olive oil
Directions
Add everything to a 2-quart saucepan, including the rice, water, salt and olive oil, and warm it until the liquid begins to simmer. When the simmer is steady and energetic, stir the pot well, put on the lid and turn the heat down as low as it will go. Cook for 15 minutes, then switch off the burner, move the pan off the heat and leave it covered for at least 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before you serve it.
