1 - Very simple.

2 cups white rice 

2 tsps. vegetable oil

1/2 of an onion, fine chop or 1/2 cup chopped scallions

1 stalk celery, chopped

4 cups of stock 

Up to 2 tsps salt (or to taste)

1/4 tsps. pepper

1/8 tsps. cayenne

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

1. Heat oil in a skillet. Add the grain and vegetables.  Cook until the grain turns blond or is popping and the onions soften, stirring to prevent burning.
2. Add the salt, pepper and cayenne and stir to mix. Add the broth.
3. Reduce to a simmer, then cover and cook for 15-25. Remove from heat and let sit for an additional 10 minutes, covered. DO NOT UNCOVER AT ANY POINT UNTIL THE TIME HAS ELAPSED!
4. Loosen up the rice with a fork and stir in the fresh parsley.

OPTIONAL: add garden peas to the cooking onions, or toasted almonds or raisins in with the parsley.
