re: Parboiled vs regular rice

You guys are talking BOUGHT parboiled v. regular.
I take raw rice and parboil it myself for certain dishes.
For example... Mexican rice. I take a cup of raw rice and par boil it. It comes out half cooked. I then add that to a black iron skillet with chopped onions, peppers, cumin, and a can of tomato sauce.
Put the lid on, turn the heat to simmer and let the tomato sauce cook the rice the rest of the way.

Well...I never thought of that. How much liquid do you add?

Plus the veggies are gonna let off some steam to help soften the rice.

In a steamer I put in a cup of raw rice and pour in water till it almost reaches the top grains. Those grains stay dry till I put the lid on and cook.

Exactly.
But it's important not to let the skillet get too hot or you'll get some burnt rice on the bottom.
I turn Mexican rice once after 10 minutes of cooking on low. If it's dry I replace the lid, if it's moist I leave the lid off. Cook 5 more minutes and it's done.
Very easy, fast, and you add your own flavorings like garlic, lime juice, jalapenos, etc.
