• Add the broth a little at a time (about 1/2 cup at a time), stirring often, lower heat a little, you want a low simmer, you do not want the rice to cook too quickly.
• Let the rice absorb the broth (but not dry a little moist) before adding more. Taste for salt (you may not have to add any if you have a salty broth) add a dash or two of pepper. Cook approximately 20 minutes or until rice is al dente and not mushy and a little moisture remains.
