Cooking Tips:

1. Rinse your rice. This is removes the extra starch and helps to keep the rice fluffy.

2. Allow the rice to rest! This is another important step to fluffy rice.

3. Remember that you need 2 cups of stock/broth for every 1 cup of rice.

4. I like to add a little feta cheese, it makes huge difference.

5. This pairs great with my Lemon Chicken Piccata recipe.
