Cold Stove Rice Pilaf
This side-dish recipe, for RVers with a pressure cooker on board, is sure to impress and will save on fuel and dishwashing.
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1/2 tsp. each salt, crumbled thyme, freshly ground pepper
- 1 tsp. dried parsley flakes
- 1 square of butter (optional)
- 1 cup water
Directions
Form a cantaloupe-size bowl out of non-stick foil. Put rice and seasonings inside with a square of butter and one cup of water. Put 2 to 3 inches of water in the cooker and float the foil bowl inside. The rice gets additional moisture from the steam, so you don't need to use the pressure cooker for nearly as long, saving on fuel.
Raise the cooker to full pressure for one minute, then set it aside until pressure returns to normal. Take the foil bowl out, and carefully place it in a plastic or ceramic bowl for easier handling. Stir the rice and spoon it out of the foil for your guests. In the end, you have a delicious side dish, while the pressure cooker and bowl stay clean. This tin foil recipe makes four 1/2-cup servings.
