Very comforting nursery food. When I wanna curl up on the couch and pamper myself, this is what I eat while watching a romantic comedy or (gasp!) a horror flick!
1/2 cup long-grain white rice
1 tsp. kosher salt
Place rice in a sieve to rinse under cold water then let drain. Place the drained rice, 6 cups cold water, and the salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover partially, then turn to medium-low to simmer for about 1-1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. It is done when it has the consistency of porridge. Place in bowls with topping of your choice (butter, ground pepper, syrup, etc.) This makes about 4 servings.
