Course : Rice
From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 4
 

Ingredients:

2 Cups uncooked rice
2 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 tablespoons onion -- very finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons celery -- very finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons green bell pepper -- very finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter -- melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 dash white pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 dash black pepper
 

Preparation:

If you make this ahead of time and store it, omit the bell peppers -- they tend to sour quickly. Use chicken stock if you are serving the rice with a chicken dish, seafood stock with a seafood dish, beef with a beef dish... In a 5x9/2 1/2 inch loaf pan, combine all ingredients; mix well. Seal pan snugly with aluminum foil. Bake at 350F until rice is tender, about 1 hour, 10 minutes. Serve immediately. However, you can count on the rice staying hot for 45 minutes and warm for 2 hours. To reheat leftover rice, either use a double boiler or warm the rice in a skillet with unsalted butter.
