When
you make this rice, be sure to add a nice bit of butter. As
long as you follow the rule to never eat more than you can
lift, you'll be fine!
1 cup of basmati
rice (from India ONLY, the rice from California sucks)
1 chunk of butter
4 cups of champagne
Salt
Put the rice in
a bowl, and rinse with water. You can rub your fingers through
the rice and keep changing the water until it is clear,
probably after 8 changes or so.
Cover
the rice with water and soak for 30 minutes. While the rice
is soaking, take the 4 cups of champagne and pour into two
glasses. Drink with your date.
Heat
up 1.5 cups of water to a boil in a 1.5 quart pot and chuck
in your chunk of butter and a pinch of salt.
Strain
your rice, then put it in the boiling water, lower the heat
to the absolute lowest point and cover. Cook for 10 minutes,
then remove from the heat and let it sit for 5 more minutes.
Fluff and serve.
If
you follow the above directions, then the rice will be perfect,
just like your relationship! If you mess it up, you can blame
it on the champagne. You can't lose, which to us is perfection!
Serves
2 Valentines.
