RICE


Before Costco I used to buy Jasmine rice; it was cheaper than Basmati. In terms of flavour I like them both. Nutrition-wise, they're both low in fat and will give you a bit of protein boost, but basmati has a much lower glycemic index (59 to jasmine's 89), making it a better choice for diabetics. All in all the best rice is Basmati long grained white rice from India.

RICE
1 cup of Basmati rice
2 Tbsp oil
1-1/2 cups of hot tap water
salt and pepper to taste

• In a moderately large pot put 2 Tbsp of oil on medium heat.
• Take a regular coffee mug and fill it to the top with rice.
• When the oil is hot, pour in the rice.
• Pan-broil the rice, stirring for a minute or two.
• Add the hot tap water.
• Add some salt and pepper.
• Let the rice come to boil and put the lid on the pot.
• Turn the heat down to its lowest setting and set timer for 5 minutes.
• Do not remove the lid during cooking.
• When the pot has no remaining liquid the rice is done.
• Toss with a fork.

It began with posting a few recipes on line for the family. "zsuzsa is in the kitchen" has more than 1000 Hungarian and International recipes. What started out as a private project turned into a well visited blog. The number of visitors long passed the two million mark. I organized the recipes into an on-line cookbook. On top of the page click on "ZSUZSA'S COOKBOOK". From there click on any of the chapters to access the recipes. For the archive just scroll to the bottom of the page. I am not profiting from my blog, so visitors are not harassed with advertising or flashy gadgets. The recipes are not broken up with photos at every step. Where needed the photos are placed following the recipe. Feel free to cut and paste my recipes for your own use. Publication is permitted as long as it is in your own words and with your own photographs. However, I would ask you for an acknowledgement and link-back to my blog. Happy cooking!
