It's boiled or steamed rice, I don't know which one because I never had
steamed rice (at least, that I know of).

I too love rice, it must be a family thing, my father and his father too
were always raving about rice. Just saturday I had rice with spinach and
parmigiano reggiano, sunday evening I had rice in hen broth and for tonight
I was thinking about rice with peas and unsmoked bacon: I'd sautee the bacon
in a pan with few olive oil or butter, add the peas and some water, cover
and let go until the peas are cooked, adding water now and then if needed.
Meanwhile I'd cook the rice, drain it and put it in the pan with the bacon
and peas. A quick mix with some grated cheese and let's go.
