MASTER RECIPE: BROWN RICE

Steps:

• The Right Ratio: Trust us: Though it's printed on the package, the standard 2-to-1 ratio makes mushy rice. For long-grain brown rice, use 1 1/4 cups water to 1 cup rice. For short-grain, use 1 1/2 cups water.
• Quick Cooking Time: Bring rice, water, and salt (1/4 teaspoon per cup of rice) to a boil. Cover, and reduce to a slow, steady simmer. Many recipes call for 50 minutes, but we think 30 minutes is plenty. A wide, shallow pot with a tight-fitting lid ensures evenly cooked grains.
• Steam and Fluff: Let the cooked rice sit for 10 minutes, covered, to absorb maximum moisture; then remove the lid, and fluff the grains with a fork.

SAFFRON RICE AND HAM PRIMAVERA

Steps:

• Bring broth, rice and saffron to boil in heavy medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Place frozen peas atop rice mixture. Cover and cook until rice is tender, peas are cooked through and broth is absorbed, about 4 minutes longer. Meanwhile, heat heavy large skillet over high heat. Add ham and bell pepper and cook until ham begins to brown, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
• Remove skillet from heat. Add rice mixture, tomatoes and 2 tablespoons vinaigrette. Toss, adding more vinaigrette by tablespoonfuls if mixture is dry. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.
