Keto Mutanjan Recipe
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, salt, bay leaves and oil.
- Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for about 25 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to keep the steam inside.
- Once the rice is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes. This allows the rice to steam and become fluffier.
- After the resting period, use a fork to fluff the rice gently. Serve hot.
Tips:
- For added flavour, you can cook the rice in broth instead of water.
- You can also add a tablespoon of butter or oil to the water for a richer taste.
- Wild blend rice can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat it with a little bit of water to restore moisture.
