Year ago while living in Madrid I had the chance to have the best white rice I had ever tasted.

 This rice was made by an amazing lady from the Dominican Republic named Elsa.

She told me that there was a simple trick to the perfect rice and I must say that she was right!

Today I am not sharing with you her delicious Dominican Rice but 

 three simple steps to perfect and delicious white rice.

1. Toast it!

2. Cover with food plastic wrap.

3. Let it sit for 5 minutes.

Here is how to do it… White Rice Recipe

3. When the water is boiling turn the heat down to medium and cover the top of the pot with plastic wrap and tightly with the lid.
