    StovePot
  2. 2
    Add the water and the salt and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes, until the water is absorbed.
    ⚙ SimmeringStoveLidPot
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.

    Remove from the heat and leave the pot covered 10 minutes.
  4. 4
    Fluff the grains with a fork and let cool completely.
  5. 5
