DELIA SMITH’S RICE
Ingredients
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 mugful Basmati rice, or preferred variety
boiling water
salt to taste
Method
Sauté the onion in a pan with the oil until soft and translucent. Add the rice and salt and stir well. Then add two mugfuls of boiling water. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes with the lid on, and no peeking!
Remove the lid and check if the rice is cooked and also that it is the right moisture level. If so, turn off the heat. Replace the lid to keep the rice warm before serving. Delicious!
Note: This rice dish can be used as a vegetable accompaniment or served with casseroles or goulashes; it will lap up the juices nicely.
The cooked rice will also store well in the refrigerator for a few days if not all used on the day of cooking.
