Directions
Lightly heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a saucepan, bring the water and olive oil to a boil, then stir in the salt. Pour the rice into a 9x13-inch baking dish and carefully pour the hot water mixture over it. Cover the dish tightly with two layers of aluminum foil to keep the steam in. Pop it into the oven and bake until the water is fully absorbed, which should take about an hour. When it’s done, take the rice out, uncover it, and gently fluff it with a fork. Then, cover it with paper towels and let it sit for about 5 minutes to soak up any extra steam. Finally, remove the paper towels and let the rice cool for a few minutes before serving.
Great Ways To Serve
Pair this dish with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. It also works well as a side for grilled chicken or tofu. Adding a drizzle of soy sauce or a sprinkle of fresh herbs can enhance the flavors.
Leftover Storage Guide
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, sprinkle a little water over the rice and warm it in the microwave or on the stove to keep it moist and fluffy.
