Instructions

  1. First it is recommended that you soak the rice in water for at least 3 hours before cooking so that it can soften up. After it has been soaking for a bit remove the water and begin to cook it.
  2. In a heavy saucepan over med heat, bring the rice and water to a boil.
  3. Lower the heat to simmer (LOW), add the cloves and cinnamon stick. Stir.
  4. Let this cook (uncovered) until the water has evaporated ( 8 - 15 minutes ).
  5. Add the remaining ingredients (except the pinch of cinnamon), stir gently once, and again let simmer (uncovered) until all liquid has evaporated.
  6. Transfer into a casserole or serving dish, garnish with the pinch of cinnamon (sprinkle on top) and refrigerate.
  7. Keep refrigerated. May be served at room temperature.
