Caribbean Rice in a Rice Cooker
By: ~Rita~
Feb 7, 2006
This side or a vegetarian main is loaded with flavor and texture. I made this in a rice cooker if you Add more water will increase the cooking time and produce softer rice; reducing the amount of water will produce firmer rice. But once you've found the ratio that's right for you, it'll be very easy to have perfect rice your way. Yes you can make stove top as well. Be sure not to remove the lid till done cooking.
SERVES 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup white rice, rinsed
- 1 teaspoon ground jamaican jerk spice

We had this tonight; made on the stove. Forgot to add the chicken broth, used water and it was plain tasting. However, salt and pepper brought up the flavour. Cilantro and scallions were added at the end. Thanks!

This was pretty good. It did have a little bit of a blandness, but that might just be a personal thing. We will make it again, but next time, maybe use some pineapple juice and buillion instead of chicken broth. Thanks!
