Not a recipe, but a kinda tip or trick... Bored with Rice... add Piquante' Sauce. For example.

1 cup water
1/2 cup Rice
2 Tablespoons Piquante Sauce
salt.

Heat water to boiling. Add Piquante Sauce and bring back to boil, add rice, stir and cook 25.

allow just a little extra time and heat due to the P sauce.

Jazzes up the plain old Rice.

I love rice. I spent probably 5 years trying to learn how to cook it exactly right in a pot.

I've soaked it, rinsed it. I've tried all sorts of variations. I've cooked it with butter or oil and without. With salt and without. A clove of garlic and a little olive oil with a sprinkle of tony's is my favorite, but the salsa addition is also great.

Just plain old rice is fantastic, but my favorite is actually sushi rice cooked in a fancy induction rice cooker set to where it scorches the bottom and makes it golden and delicious. In order to do it, you have to rinse the rice in about 10 changes of water in a sieve so you can swish it around. Once you've rinsed it, you have to soak it for 20 minutes and then dry it for 20 minutes. There's a little white dot that will form when it's ready and dry.

I wish I hadn't eaten leftover pizza. Could have made some rice.
