Burn Rice

This one came from my mother-in-law. We eat lots of rice here in Brazil, and this recipe is an easy and tasty variation on the Brazilian pilaf.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  teaspoon  vegetable oil
• 1  cup long grain rice
• 2  cups water
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Put the rice and oil to fry in a small pan at high heat, stirring from time to time, until golden (about 5 minutes).
2. At the same time put the water to boil.

6. Let it simmer for 12-15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.
