Rice as a Vegetable (Wash one cup of rice sprinkle)

Wash one cup of rice, sprinkle it carefully in a large kettle of boiling water. Cover and boil rapidly without stirring for twenty minutes. Drain, throw into a bowl of cold water to blanch ten minutes. Drain again in a colander, then stand the colander over a kettle of boiling water. Let it steam ten minutes. Stand at the oven door a few minutes to dry. Sprinkle with salt and serve.

Each grain should be swollen two or three times its original size and no two grains should stick together. Serve with fricassee of veal, or of chicken, or with boiled mutton. Where rice is served as a vegetable, do not serve potatoes in any form at the same time.
