Rice in foil in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make rice in foil in the oven? Prepare your food. Any rice will do. Basmati rice turns out to be one of the driest, so you need to take a little more liquid to prepare it than for round-grain varieties. Water can be replaced with any vegetable broth.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour hot water over the rice and leave for 10-15 minutes. Then drain the water and rinse the rice thoroughly, as if rubbing it with your hands to remove as much starch as possible.

3. STEP 3

   

   Drain the clean rice. The rice should turn noticeably white.

4. STEP 4

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the washed rice in it. Stir the rice constantly. Do not make the fire maximum, but let it be a little more than medium. The grains of rice should absorb the oil and become translucent.

5. STEP 5

   

   Transfer the fried rice to an ovenproof dish. Pour in salted hot water or vegetable broth. Level the rice so that it is distributed as evenly as possible throughout the pan.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cover the pan filled with rice with a sheet of foil of suitable size.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the rice in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and simmer for about 30-40 minutes. Then taste the rice, it should become soft. If it is still hard, continue baking. Serve the cooked rice hot with a variety of gravies, sauces, curries and salads. Bon appetit!

It always tastes better in the oven. You can bake rice immediately with chicken in pots.

I found on the website a very interesting way to cook rice in foil in the oven. I used the recipe and got a wonderful side dish for meat. I took long grain rice, washed it well and put it in a hot frying pan. When the rice was a little dry, I added vegetable oil and fried until translucent. I also filled it with water 1:2. But my rice spent about an hour in the oven. By this time, the water has been absorbed and the rice has become soft and crumbly. Cooking time greatly depends on the type of rice, so you need to focus on this. My rice turned out crumbly, grain by grain. And also soaked in oil. This is a hearty and delicious side dish!
