Anybody Proud of any Rice Recipes?

I cannot seem to nail down a good rice recipe. 

 

The best one I got is a simple rice pilaf which is decent but not over the top.

 

Sautee some diced onion and garlic in veg oil.  Don't burn the garlic.  Toast some pine nuts in the same pan and add the rice and toast that in the oil as well.  Add water (or broth), a large pat of butter and add water to about an inch and a half or maybe two inches over the rice level.  Cook it until water evaporates and the steam holes appear.  Then cover the rice pot, and stick on ultra low heat for 20 minutes.  Let set for another 5.

 

i made a wicked Cous Cous the other night.

 

2 cups CC

2 cups Water

1-bring water to boil

2- add cous cous

3- saute diced onions in separate pan, also dice an avocado and a handful of black olives

4- once cous cous boils for 3-4 minutes, it should absorb the water quickly, lower heat to simmer level to get rest of water out and keep it warm.

5- mix in a little olive oil, along with the diced avocado and olives.

6-simmer for a couple minutes.

extra step if wanted 7- i love cheese so i add mozzarela at this point and let it melt into cous cous.

 

this CC is the bomb..... i serve with steak a lot.

Interesting.  Cous Cous is probably a heck of a lot easier to get the texture consistent than rice as well.

 

Rice is very moody
