White Rice Puerto Rican style

By efriend

Ingredients

• 2 cups calrose rice
• 3 cups water
• 1 ⁄4 cup oil (olive or canola)
• 1 tablespoon sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

Stir rice and water into a medium pot with lid. Bring to a boil.
Add salt and oil. Keep mixture at a gentle boil until rice is dry (it will not be tender). Use a mixing spoon to form a heap with the rice in the center of the pot.
Cover and reduce heat to medium-low.
Remove lid every 5 minutes to stir and sample rice. Rice will form a crust on the bottom of the pot if not stirred often.
When rice is steamed to your liking, stir one last time to fluff; serve.
