This is the delicious "Charleston Ice Cream" method of cooking rice! It's an old southern style. Great by itself, but I love mine with beans. I got this recipe from the Anson Mills website, but started doing it a little differently over the years. This is the method that's recommended for Carolina Gold rice, a rare heirloom variety that you can only get from Anson Mills. Anyway it works well with other varieties of rice too, but give the Carolina Gold a try sometime. I've eaten pounds and pounds of it. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 pound rice
- Salt
- Pepper
- Bay Leaves
- Earth Balance Vegan Spread
Instructions
- Add the rice to about 8 cups of water and preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Add about 3 tablespoons of salt to the water
- Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low
- Boil rice for about 12 minutes or until the rice is still slightly firm but almost done
- Drain the rice and rinse in cold water
- Spread the rice in a thin layer over parchment paper with a few bay leaves on a large baking pan and place in the oven
- Leave rice in the oven for about 6 minutes, stirring once half way through
- Once any water from rinsing has cooked off the rice, add several little pieces of earth balance along with a few more bay leaves and also salt and pepper to taste. Place back in the oven and continue cooking for about 10 minutes. Be sure to take out of the oven and gently stir about every 3 minutes. Add more Earth Balance, salt, or pepper, to taste if you feel it needs it
