Dominican Style White Rice

Darlene La Diva Gourmets Dominican Style White Rice:

Ingredients: 3 cups long grain rice 4 1/2 cups water 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon olive corn or canola oil According to la Diva Gourmet: Bring water to a boil on medium heat add salt and oil. Wash rice three times with cold water Drain thoroughly Add rice to boiling water and stir.
Cook uncover, stirring constantly to avoid the rice to stick to the bottom (the concon which is the crunchy bottom that we traditionally eat alone or with creamy bean sauce is suposed to form during the low heat cooking stage and not before) When the water has comsumed, stir again, bring rice to the center of the pot so that it allows for even cooking and better concon cover with aluminum foil and then with the lid. Reduce the heat to the lowest level. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes. Uncover and stir from bottom to top. You know if grains of rice are raw by splitting one grain with your nail and checking the center of it which should not look different. If not fully cooked cover five additional minutes. Using a fork separate grains and serve
