Rice Cooked In Double Boiler Recipe 1

Instructions

1. Following the general rule a pint of water would be called for when half a cup of rice is to be cooked in a double boiler.
2. If the rice be from a fresh or late gathered crop -- thus not very dry -- this may be a generous measure.
3. If the cooking is to be done in stock or tomato puree, the above proportions will be about right.
4. Rice cooked with tomato and cheese is given under cheese dishes.
5. To cook in the double boiler, blanch the rice as in the first recipe; add the milk, stock or puree, preferably hot, in the upper part of the boiler, half a teaspoon of salt and let cook until the liquid is absorbed.
6. Do not stir during the cooking.
