Simmer Rice Pilaf

Hi! I'm Louis Ortiz on behalf of Expert Village and we have showed you in the previous video the preparation and things that we need to get ready for rice pilaf. So I have reached a boil in my small sauce pot here we are making just a small batch again so now that I have reached a boil I'm going to go ahead and lower the flame to low so we could just maintain a simmer. So I have cranked it down to low there and I'm going to go ahead and put my lid on. All we are going to do is let that sit at a simmer and what we are trying to achieve is all of the rice within the pot would soak up all of the nice rich chicken stock and that is actually going to hydrate that rice because we have started off with a dry product obviously and this make a nice rich fluffy just a fresher flavor of rice as a side dish simply because the box rice tend to have a lot of sodium and weird seasoning and dry things that we are not to fond off. So I got some fresh slice carrots and some fresh diced onions in there as well so we are going to let this simmer and then we would come back and I would show you the end product and what it needs to look like.
