Instructions

  1. In a pan, put the rice, onion, garlic and italian seasoning.
  2. Crumble in the stock cubes.
  3. Pour the boiling water into the pan and stir to dissolve the stock cubes.
  4. Simmer, covered, over a low to medium heat for 20 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir every 5 minutes or so, to stop the rice from sticking to the pan.
  5. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. By this stage, nearly all the liquid should have been absorbed.
  6. Add salt and pepper to taste (bear in mind, the stock cubes contain quite a lot of salt).
  7. Serve hot or allow to cool and refrigerate.
  8. NB: If reheating this rice in the microwave, add a little water before reheating so the rice doesn't dry out.
