Answer 2

1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
7 whole cloves
5 cardamom pods, if desired
2 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crumbled saffron threads
2 tablespoons milk

In a large bowl wash rice in several changes of cold water until the water runs clear and drain it in a fine sieve.

In a large heavy saucepan heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking, add the cinnamon stick, the cloves, and the cardamom pods, if using, and fry the spices, stirring, for 30 seconds, or until the cloves are puffed slightly. Add rice and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute, or until the rice is opaque. Add 2 1/4 cups water and the salt, bring the mixture to a boil, and cook the rice, covered, over low heat for 15 minutes.

While the rice is cooking, in a heatproof bowl set over a small pan of simmering water heat the saffron for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it is brittle. Add milk, heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it is hot, and remove the pan from the heat. Drizzle the saffron mixture over the rice and continue to cook the rice, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 5 minutes.

Answer 3

Here's a recipe using broccoli and rice. It's a family favorite.

RICE AND BROCCOLI CASSEROLE

10 oz. broccoli, thawed, not cooked
2 c. Minute Rice, uncooked (I use Success Rice)
1 can cream of celery soup
1 soup can water
8 oz. Cheez Whiz
1/2 stick butter, melted

Spray the baking dish with a non stick spray.
Mix all ingredients together and put in the baking dish and bake for 30 minutes at 350'.

Answer 4

1 cup of rice + 1.5 cup of water and then boil it on a really hot heat until it is boiling. When it is boiling, remove the cover and put the heat down. When the water start disappearing, put the cover again.

While waiting for the rice to boil or cook, do some chopping.

2 big carrots or about 4 baby carrots, chop into small cubes
2 cloves of garlic, sliced thinly
about a handful of sweetcorn
5 green beans, chop thinly but not too thin

after the rice is cooked, put about 2 tbsp of oil (any oil-sunflower oil, canola oil, olive oil) into a wok and then put the chopped garlic. When the garlic is getting brown, put the chopped carrots, beans, and corns into the wok. Wait for about 3 minutes and then put the cooked rice in. Put some salt to taste and about 1 tsp of brown sugar. keep on stirring it for about 5 minutes and then the rice is ready.

Good luck!!

ps you can put meat into the rice to if you want. Slice chicken or pork or any meat thinly and put it in after the garlic turns brown and then wait until it is cooked before you put the chopped carrots, beans and carrots in.
