So... rice... sounds so easy, but tricky to get it right!

Ok, lets do some rice.

1 cup Long Rice
half a dozen chilli peppers, or jalapeno's, or both
clove of garlic

Put the rice into a sieve, rinse it and leave it soaking in a pot of water.
Crush the garlic, and slice up the peppers. Keep the seeds, they can go in too.
Put the kettle on to boil.
Put a couple of table spoons of olive oil
into a pot, set it on a medium heat and gently fry the garlic and peppers and seeds.
Now tip the rice into the pot, and turn it over a few times so the rice has a light coating of oil.
Add boiling water at a 1:1 ratio of the rice. so if you used 1 cup of rice, add 1 cup of boiling water. Bring it to the boil then turn it down to simmer for around 10 minutes, occassionally stirring it.

After 10 minutes, turn the stove off and let the rice stand for a further 5 minutes.

Serve with whatever you're having with it.
