Love rice, I follow my mother's recipe, the same as above with these additions: chopped red bell pepper, 1 bay leaf, 1 clove. This makes 3 meals for me. I've also used leftovers to stuff bell peppers.

It's not my recipe but I respect the author choice. My wife is a great Portuguese food cook and she doesn't always use olive oil on rice.
