Notes From the Method

Measure the liquid exactly; it controls the texture.

Cover tightly with foil so the rice steams.

If the rice is firm at the end, add a splash of hot stock and bake for 10 minutes more.

Keeping What's Left

Cool quickly and keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat with a splash of milk until steaming throughout.
