CRISPY RICE

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups basmati rice
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 tablespoon butter, melted, plus 1 tablespoon
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon sumac, optional

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil.
  • Place the rice in a large bowl, rinse with cold water and drain in a colander until the water runs totally clear. Drain well.
  • Add the rice to the pot and boil until the grains are soft on the outside but still hard at the center, about 6 minutes. Drain the rice and rinse under cold water.
  • Measure out 1 1/4 cups of the parcooked rice and transfer to a bowl; stir in the yogurt, the 1 tablespoon melted butter and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Melt the oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter together over medium-low heat in a 2- to 3-quart nonstick pot with a tight-fitting lid. Add the yogurt rice and spread it evenly to cover the bottom of the pot. Add the remaining rice, mounding it into a pyramid shape. Insert the handle of a wooden spoon into the mound 3 or 4 times to make vents for steam to escape. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook until the rice starts to steam, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot, first with a clean towel and then with a lid. Steam until the rice is fully cooked and a golden brown crust has formed on the bottom, about 50 minutes.
  • Spoon the loose rice onto a platter, then use a firm spatula to remove the crust from the pan. Top the rice with the crust and sprinkle with the parsley and sumac if using. Serve immediately.

Time 1h

Yield 6 (serving size: about 1/2 cup)

Number Of Ingredients 6

16 cups water
1/4 cup kosher salt
2 cups long grain white rice
1/4 cup sour cream
1/3 cup unsalted butter, divided
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Bring water and salt to a boil in a large stockpot over high heat. Meanwhile, place rice in a colander and rinse with cold water until water runs clear, about 1 minute.
  • Add rinsed rice to boiling water. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is almost tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain rice and immediately rinse with cold water until rice is room temperature, about 1 minutes.
  • Place 1 cup cooked rice in a medium bowl with sour cream; stir to combine. Heat 2 tablespoons butter and oil in a well-seasoned 10-inch cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until just melted. Spread rice and sour cream mixture in an even layer in bottom of skillet. Spoon remaining cooled rice on top, being sure to mound rice slightly towards the center, while still allowing rice to touch edges of skillet. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke 6 to 7 holes in the rice, going all the way to the bottom of the skillet to allow steam to escape. Cook 15 minutes, turning skillet on burner a quarter turn every 3 to 4 minutes to ensure even browning.
  • Cut remaining butter into small cubes. Add butter cubes around edges of rice and in steam holes after 15 minutes of cooking. Continue to cook over medium-low and turn skillet a quarter turn every 3 to 4 minutes until bottom and sides of rice are golden and crisp, another 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and cover skillet with a large plate or serving platter (right side down). Carefully but swiftly (and with confidence!) invert rice in skillet onto serving plate. Serve warm.

I got this recipe from a friend also. I love it because it makes two casseroles. It freezes well or you can give one to a friend. The rice krispies were a pleasant surprise.

Yield 2 2qt. casseroles, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small onion, chopped
1 lb hot sausage, browned
1 lb mild sausage, browned
2 cups cooked rice (or more)

Tips

  • Use day-old rice for the best texture. Freshly cooked rice will be too soft and mushy.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any excess starch. This will help the rice to be less sticky.
  • Use a large baking dish to ensure that the rice is spread out in an even layer. This will help it to cook evenly.
  • Press the rice firmly into the baking dish to create a compact layer. This will help it to hold together when it is baked.
  • Bake the rice in a preheated oven until it is golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on it to prevent it from burning.
  • Let the rice cool slightly before serving. This will make it easier to handle and cut.

Conclusion

Crispy rice bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It can be served as a main course, side dish, or appetizer. With its crispy texture and flavorful ingredients, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
