EGYPTIAN FRIED RICE
From Colette Rossant's charming memoir of growing up in Egypt and France, "Apricots on the Nile." She writes that the soft portion of this rice is served in one dish and the crispy bottom pieces in another. Both parts are delicious.

- Cook, uncovered, over moderate heat until the water is absorbed.
- Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 30 minutes more.
- Spoon the top layer of rice into a bowl.
