  • Combine the rice, 1 3/4 cups water, the salt, and butter in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat to low, stir once, and simmer, covered tightly, for 15 minutes. (I need to pull the pot half off the burner to keep it from boiling over.) Turn off the heat and allow the rice to sit covered for 5 minutes. Add the parsley, dill, scallions, and pepper. Fluff with a fork, and serve warm.

RICE IN A JAR--4 VERSIONS



Rice in a Jar--4 Versions image

Give 1 of each rice mixture to one person or individual recipes to different people. Tie a festive ribbon around each jar or baggie and a tag or card with a message that includes THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS: "To cook, combine the rice mixture, 2 cups of cold water and 1 Tbs butter in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and cook over low heat 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Makes 4-6 servings." I got this recipe years ago from a book of "gifts from the kitchen" from the 1970s or 1980s. One recipe each of all 4 mixtures makes 2 gifts yielding 4-6 servings, so the way I came up with total servings is 4 x 2 x (4 to 6) = 32 to 48. (Also good to keep for yourself for when you're in a hurry or to take camping.)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup long-grain rice
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 garlic cloves, minced and mashed into a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh gingerroot
1/4 cup finely chopped scallions
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 cup packed coriander sprigs, washed well, spun dry, and chopped fine

Steps:

  • To a kettle of boiling salted water add rice and return to a boil stirring. Boil rice 10 minutes. Drain rice in a large sieve and rinse.

  • In a large bowl stir together remaining ingredients except coriander and add rice. Toss mixture until combined well. Cool rice to room temperature and stir in coriander.

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful rice, use a combination of different long-grain rices, such as basmati, jasmine, and brown rice.
  • Toast the rice in a little oil before adding the liquid to help develop its nutty flavor.
  • Use a variety of fresh or dried herbs to infuse the rice with flavor. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, and sage.
  • Add some vegetables to the rice for a more colorful and nutritious dish. Some good options include diced carrots, peas, corn, and zucchini.
  • If you don't have a jar with a tight-fitting lid, you can use a sealable plastic bag instead.
  • To reheat the rice, simply place the jar in a pot of boiling water for 10-15 minutes, or microwave it on high for 2-3 minutes.
