Just for the sheer hell of it, here's a nice rice recipe:

Couple of glugs of good olive pil in the bottom of a heavy pot.
1 small shallot and two cloves garlic, fine dice
1 cup rice
Heat on med-high and stir until shallot is translucent and rice begins
to brown
Add 2 cups water and turn heat to high
Add 1 TBS turmeric
Cover pot and bring to boil; when boiling turn heat to low and set
timer for 15 mins.
Do not remove cover until timer goes off
When timer goes off add 1 cup frozen green peas and a knob of butter
Set timer for 5 more minutes
When time goes off, fluff with fork and serve. Deeelicious alone, or
with shredded roast chicken, fat golden raisins, and toasted slivered
almonds added.

Namaste
